# IComponentClass interface

The `IComponentClass` interface is a PCB Component class object interface for an existing Component Class on a PCB document. An existing Component class contains members of specific Components. Each Component within a ComponentClass object can either be a member or not. The 'All Components' Component Class exists in every PCB document by default, it includes all Components in the document. It is not possible to change which components are members of that Component class, but the user has full control over which components are members of any other Component classes (which are created and named by the User).

```csharp
public interface IComponentClass : IObjectClass
```

**Namespace:** EDP · **Assembly:** Altium.SDK.Interfaces

**Inherits:** [IDMObject](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/edp/IDMObject.md) → [IObjectClass](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/edp/IObjectClass.md)

## Remarks

Inherited from [`IObjectClass`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/edp/IObjectClass.md) interface.

This interface declares no members of its own.
