Socket & Part

e14 Contributor

I have a DIL socket and a programmable part that goes in the socket. I want the socket and the part on the schematic & BOM but only the socket on the PCB. How do I do that, gracefully?

    1) Make a library device that has a symbol for the programmable part  and a

    package for the socket.

    2) Make a  second device ( a symbolic device) for only the socket.  It could

    simply be text "In 20 pin socket"  surrounded by a rectangle .This device

    has no package.

    Set the attributes as required for BOM generation for both devices.

     

    Add to the schematic:

    1) the programmable part. Which has all  the pins which you connect to other

    parts

    2) the socket device.

     

    On the board you see a socket with airwires to the correct pins.

    The silk screen should show the socket outline and the name will be that of

    your programmable part eg  IC2
