Symbols and footprint for ferrite beads

[rmeldo]

Hi,

I am struggling to find the symbol and footprint for ferrite beads.

I am looking to use 0805 beads and I can use reistor or capacitor footprints, but I find it strange that there wouldn’t be dedicated symbols and footprints.

What am I missing?

Thanks

A footprints are reusable to WHATEVER they fit. There isn’t the need to have duplicates. That is why footprints are assigned separately.

EDIT:
If you don’t understand that I can’t even give you a good example. Trust me. This will start to make sense the more you get into it.

Explained in part in What is the difference between footprints and symbols?

And this might be of use as well How can i assign a footprint to a symbol?
