### Footprint Mapping
**Standard components use existing KiCad footprints:**

```
Resistors → Resistor_SMD:R_[Package]_[Metric]
Capacitors → Capacitor_SMD:C_[Package]_[Metric]  
Inductors → Inductor_SMD:L_[Package]_[Metric]

ICs → Package_SO:SOIC-[pins]...
     Package_QFP:LQFP-[pins]...
     Package_TO_SOT_SMD:SOT-223...
     etc.
```

## ⚙️ Workflow

### Adding New Standard Component

#### 1. Research Phase
```bash
# Check if component exists in KiCad
1. Open KiCad Symbol Editor
2. Search for component in standard libraries
3. If exists: Note library and symbol name
4. If not exists: Create custom symbol
```

#### 2. LCSC Lookup
```bash
# Find LCSC part number
1. Search component on lcsc.com
2. Check if it's a "Basic Part" (lower cost)
3. Verify stock status and pricing
4. Note: LCSC#, Manufacturer, MPN
```

#### 3. Symbol Creation
```bash
# Create symbol with LCSC data
1. Use existing KiCad symbol as template (if available)
2. Add LCSC properties:
   - LCSC: C-Number
   - Manufacturer: Company name
   - MPN: Manufacturer Part Number
3. Set footprint to standard KiCad footprint
4. Add datasheet URL
```

#### 4. Testing
```bash
# Verify in test circuit
1. Create test schematic
2. Run ERC (Electrical Rules Check)
3. Create test PCB
4. Run DRC (Design Rules Check)
5. Check 3D view
```

## 🎯 Best Practices

### Component Selection Strategy
1. **Always check LCSC first**: Use Basic Parts when possible
2. **Standardize values**: Prefer E24 series for resistors
3. **Package consistency**: Use 0603 for most passives
4. **Verify availability**: Check stock before committing to design

### Cost Optimization
| Strategy | Savings | Implementation |
|----------|---------|----------------|
| Basic Parts only | 50-80% | Use LCSC Basic Parts database |
| Standard packages | 20-30% | Stick to 0603, SOIC, QFP |
| Volume planning | 10-20% | Order 1000+ pieces |
| Setup minimization | $2-5 per unique part | Reuse same values |

### Design Guidelines
- **0603 preferred**: Good balance of size/handling
- **Basic Parts first**: Always check Basic Parts availability
- **Standard values**: E24 series for resistors, E6 for capacitors
- **Safety margins**: +20% on critical values

## 🔄 Maintenance

### Regular Updates
1. **Monthly**: Check LCSC availability and pricing
2. **Quarterly**: Update Basic Parts list
3. **Per project**: Verify all parts in stock before ordering
4. **KiCad updates**: Test footprint compatibility

### Version Control
```bash
# Git workflow
git add symbols/Standard_*.kicad_sym
git commit -m "feat: add STM32F407 with LCSC C13303"
git tag -a v1.2.0 -m "Standard ICs v1.2.0"
```
