Electronic library attributes are properties that store key data about components, component variants, or libraries in Fusion Electronics. Attributes help define important information such as datasheets, BOM data, physical properties, and simulation details. This information travels with the component as it is used in schematics and downstream workflows.
When you create a new component, Fusion Electronics assigns these attributes by default:
Fill out these attributes so the data is ready when you place the component in schematics and link it to your BOM.
When you assign or change a component category (CATEGORY_L1 through CATEGORY_L4), Fusion Electronics suggests attributes to add or remove based on the selected category. Review the suggested changes in the Library Attributes dialog before you apply them. For the full list of suggested attributes for each category, see Category attributes.
When applicable, you can add the following optional attributes using the Create Attribute dialog:
You can also define custom attributes for libraries, components, or component variants using the Attributes dialog. Custom attributes allow you to track specific data that is not covered by the default or optional attributes. For more information, see the documentation on Create a new attribute.
