Terminals on PCB layout? How to find how to add? EAGLE

Community PCB Design

Hey all I’m totally new to this :slight_smile:

So i drafted simple schematics now I want to add terminals at the end to screw in the wires. I need 2 and 3 pin terminals with 5.08 pitch.

Is there library for terminals in Eagle? or how do I define them? (I need terminals like those: http://cgi.ebay.com/100-pcs-2pin-5-08mm … 20b5fea77c)

I hope some one can help me out :slight_smile:

Libraries that start with “con” usually has connectors in them

“con-phoenix-508” library has the MKDSN series which looks very similar to the terminals you linked on ebay with 5.08mm pitch

actually accidentally i found those connectors in SparkFun library :slight_smile: they are under M02 and M03 sections. Obviously if i serch for M02 it wont show up so i serched for connectors and scrolled down to SparkFun section :slight_smile:

If you search for “M02” you will find it in Eagle :slight_smile:

if i serch for M02 the serch does not come up, i hate serch part in eagle :frowning: but if i serch for “conn” then i see M02 under spark fun, this somewhat drives me nuts :slight_smile:

As SpikedCola said you need to use the boolean * operator when doing the search.

ok i thought * was just punctuation :slight_smile:

I guess that would make my live much easier :slight_smile:

TNX!

Searching only looks in the active libraries, so you have to enable the connector libraries to find it.

all my libararies are active

If you are using Eagle and have the default included libraries installed, look for the con-wago-508 library. If it’s not showing, try adding the library from the schematic editor:

Library>Use… and select the con-wago-508 library.

Now click the Add button again and look for the library you just added.

Hope that helps!
