RS Components offers therefore an extensive selection of certified 3D models that provide a reliable online environment and give direct support to the design process involving electronic components.

RS Components’ aim is for engineers to be able to produce the entire design using RS online resources. RS Components can supply additional tools for doing this, such as a free PCB design tool.

Visitors to the RS Components website can look directly at CAD models from the component library, and download them for free, if required.
