Import & metadata
View source
Downloads a .xpi file (0.01 MB). In Zotero, open Tools → Plugins and install it from the file.
In useAn estimate of how many copies of Zotero have it: Zotero downloads each new version once for every copy that has the plugin, so we count the downloads of its most-downloaded recent release. Rounded. Plugins that update from outside GitHub count low.
42
DownloadsAll-time downloads of its release files from GitHub, counting every update. Installs from elsewhere aren't counted.
42
ReleasesVersions published on GitHub. Everyone who has the plugin downloads each one again, which adds up in Downloads.

What it does

Written by AI from the README

Saves component datasheets from LCSC (立创商城) product pages via the Zotero Connector. You get a Document item with the PDF and a note of parameters, and a blank date is filled from the PDF's first page.

Component datasheets and specifications are otherwise saved by hand with inconsistent metadata. Aimed at electronics engineers using the Chinese parts shop LCSC, on Zotero 9.

Your review is public, under the name you give, and published with the directory's data under CC BY 4.0. Links are removed. We never store your IP address: a scrambled code made from it is kept for 30 days to catch fake reviews. Every review is checked before it's published; how fake ones are spotted isn't published, so it can't be gamed.
