Traco Power Chooses SamacSys As Professional Partner For CAD Model Creation

SamacSys has been chosen as the provider of professional CAD Models for Traco Power. In an effort to improve their customers’ experience, SamacSys will create and provide interactive CAD Models for inclusion on the Traco Power website.

Traco Power has been the leading manufacturer of DC/DC converters and AC/DC switching power supplies since 1944. They have proven time and time again that they provide the most reliable power conversion products specific to their customer needs and their dedication to quality and reliability makes their choice to partner with us even more significant. 

Their latest move to enhance the customer experience on their website saw a technical evaluation of all available CAD Model providers in the industry. Traco wanted an easy-to-use 3D product model feature on their website to not only show a 3D render of the component, but also a 2D scalable footprint, and the PCB symbol.

This tool is integrated on the component page and is free to use. See it here.

At SamacSys our mission is simple, we want to provide free access to high-quality PCB library content for every component and every engineer around the world. We’re doing this by partnering with some of the largest names in the electronic component industry.

CEO, Alex MacDougall said this:

“With the recent global changes to people working remotely more often, it’s great to see more manufacturers of electronic components investing to bring digital content to their community. We’re really pleased to have been chosen by Traco Power to provide their ECAD Models, we’ve been impressed by their forward-thinking approach.”

SamacSys Joins Forces With Cadence to Spearhead The Next Generation of PCB Tools

Since the acquisition of SamacSys by Supplyframe, we have been exploring new ways to bring our component CAD models and library services to a wider audience. To this end, we have partnered with Cadence Design Systems by integrating our vast libraries into their Allegro® and OrCAD® PCB design tool suites. 

Our library of over 15 million component design resources like PCB footprints, schematic symbols, and 3D models allow engineers to save substantial amounts of time during the design process. 

Thanks to this collaboration, Allegro and OrCAD users are now able to import our models into their designs with a single click. By leveraging our vast network of valuable design tools, Cadence is able to deliver on their promise of Intelligent System Design™ better than ever before. 

This collaboration allows us to expand our capabilities even further, and engineers everywhere will soon reap the rewards.

Read about our partnership with Mentor on Electronics360

SamacSys is partnering with Mentor Graphics to provide free PCB symbols, footprints and 3D models within PartQuest, Mentor’s online platform for finding component information.

As a result of using our PCB libraries, companies avoid the task of library part creation. Library creation can be frustrating and time consuming and cause major delays during the development cycle.

The components that are found in PartQuest can now be downloaded into any Mentor PCB format (PADS, xDX Designer and Xpedition) without the need for manually extracting information from datasheets to create the CAD models. Finding accurate and complete datasheets is one of the major bottlenecks in the design of PCB symbols and footprints.

With more than 13 million components in the library, users of PartQuest will see the SamacSys components they wish to design-in with highlighted by our “green icon.” The new content will reduce library development time and improve design accuracy during the product development cycle.
