DS PCB Link or wire jumper

Information type: DesignSpark PCB library
Keywords: Component Libraries, jumper, Library, link, zero ohm
Manufacturer: RS
Technology: PCB Design Tools
Theme: DesignSpark PCB

Overview

This library provides a component "Link" identified by LK to provide the option of adding zero ohm wire links to your PCB. Currently 0.1" to 0.6" (0.1" step) lengths are provided.

Details

 

This library contains my attempt to produce a jumper, i.e. as a wire link of various lengths.

To use the component layout your PCB as normal and when you reach a point you want to have a wire link, then:

1. identify the track and goto the schematic and identify the trace.

2. update the trace to include the wire link, i.e. add the component "Link"

3. update your design changes to the PCB.

4. Goto the PCB and identify the position where you want to place the link.

5. Change the package style from Link1 to Link6 to provide a link of 0.1" to 0.6" as required.

Please feedback any comments or questions.
