how to place SparkFun RA connector on pcb with eagle

Community PCB Design

This is about the M05x2RA right angle connector as well as its female counter part. I am using the part from the SparkFun eagle library and I have a question about its placement. I am fairly sure I know how to place it, but I want to make sure before I have boards made. I want the the two connectors to slide just under the pcb so both boards fit almost tight against their edges. In the pcb package drawing of this part it shows what looks like the pins and a line going through the middle of them. I am assuming this line is what needs to go on the board edge, but I am not absolutely sure.

I have attached a screen shot of the part. Hopefully someone who has done this before can verify my assumptions. What I am wondering though if done this way, does that mean half of the pin will go past the board edge and is that correct?

Check the parts and placements against the manufacturer’s specifications, for something important like that.

Also, print out the boards on stiff paper 1:1 scale, put the connectors on them and see if it’s a decent fit.

(actually fit all the parts on the paper cutout before you send the boards out for production, can save you some nasty surprises.)
