Custom pads...

autodeskguest

Hi there

 

I need to make a pad for this kind of pin:

I have made it like this:

Is there a better way to design the pad than this? it is a combination of a

bottom SMD and two pads.

    Perhaps the con-faston is something for you.

     

    I know the lib, but it is not suiteable for this design.

     

    Is it not possible to design a custom pad in eagle?

     

    In the pad i designed above, DRC is complaning about overlap (pad on

    a SMD) but i dont know how else to do it when I want a different

    shape than the given pads.

    I posted asking the same question. I found a post in some electronics

    forums which claimed you can avoid the DRC errors by moving the SMD

    pad to another layer but it gave no real details. I've searched and

    search but I can't find the link again.I did find this post which

    indicates it is possible:

     

    I am mounting the power switch on my pcb board. The terminal is in

    rectangular shape but the pad in eagle is round. Is there a way to

    create a custom pad shape?

    Not without a fair bit of trouble. You will have to find a board

    company that will cut the hole out for you. Most people accept the

    round hole, unless it's obviously a bad solution.

    Thanx. I think I will stick with what i got so far.
