Manually fill in a LCSC part number #197

Open SwooshMihu opened 2 years ago

SwooshMihu commented 2 years ago

Certain components show up in the online LCSC shop but not in the embedded tool. Is there any way to manually fill in the LCSC part number? Screenshot from 2022-07-25 22-27-00

Apparently i can right click on the LCSC cell and select "Paste LCSC".

the stock in LCSC and JLCPCB differ a bit, this tool uses the JLCPCB stock, you can check it from here:

https://jlcpcb.com/parts https://jlcpcb.com/parts/componentSearch?isSearch=true&searchTxt=C2925591

ps: from the schematic you can add a label "LCSC" and the tool takes it in addition to the right click

To my knowledge you can't use all LCSC parts on your designs to be assembled, just the subset that is listed by JLC. @SwooshMihu / @FDSoftware Have you used non JLC listed LCSC parts in your designs before and they assembled them for you?

SwooshMihu commented 2 years ago

From what i know, they will use any part from LCSC in the assembly process if you can find it in stock and provide the link for it.

FDSoftware commented 2 years ago

@Bouni only the subset can be used, but there are several cases where you can send them an email to check if it is pending restock (part in the JLCPCB library but not in stock), but it is not something "sure" that it will always happen

  1. Why there is in stock on LCSC website but not in JLCPCB library? The reason is that our components sources are from LCSC, and LCSC has two warehouses located in Jiangsu and Shenzhen. So sometimes the components are shown available on LCSC website, but it shows 0 when you are placing an order. This situation is caused by different warehouses sources, and we have no way to transfer them.
