• Footprint – each component has a minimum of one footprint. When there are variants, each variant has a footprint. Variants can have different pin assignments.

  • A Footprint (required) is the 2D representation an electronic component, as used on the circuit board. Its dimensions are spatially accurate to facilitate board layout.
