I found the part you're looking for with this query:  UA78M05*  Let me

know if it works for you, or if you have any suggestions.

Don't search for the precise part. If you use all the different

characters all the manufacturers use then you can count a dozen names

foe just the same thing. Use the plain numbers instead.

Just 7805 will do, or 7805*, or 7805.

You should check for the meaning of ? and * .

Thank you guys for you help.  I think I have all my components accounted for but it did take a lot of time to find them. Maybe this is just a one time thing and from here on out Eagle will save me time as I get used to it. Anyway thanks again.

Thank you so much. I found the part from the library you posted.

 

Is there any way to search for the package type in the ADD component

screen?

  If you wish to search for a package then you should do it from the ADD

in the board editor as that will search package names.  Once you have

identified the which libraries contain the package, abort the Add.

You can also do it from the control panel but it is strange and slow on

the large Eagle library.

Right click on a Libraries folder and select Search in Folder, entering

you r search text at the bottom. It search one find at a time as you

click next.

Hi. I was hoping someone can help a new eagle user.

 

I am trying to create my first schematic and can't find a part I need.

It's in an SOT-89 package (MC78L05ACHX). I searched and found a couple

Fairchild libraries but they don't have that part in an SOT-89.

 

I will resort to making a part but it seems like a common part so I'm

surprised I can find it. Matter of fact I can't find anything in SOT-89.

What am I doing wrong ?

 

Any hints on how to search for parts ?

The  first place I look searching for a package is "ref-packages.lbr"

that come with eagle

Yes, I just type the package name into the search box at the bottom (not the attributes one) and usually it displays every part in that package. Try typing SOIC8 or SOT-23 for example.

Thank you so much. I found the part from the library you posted.

I found a part in SOT-89 that you can add to your library and use in your design. I can email it to you if you want.

EDIT: find it attached.

Bob -- check out the Adafruit parts library over on adafruit.com. Their EAGLE parts library is excellent -- and I'm sure it'll have a SOT-89.

If not, I'll find a library that does so you don't have to create a new one.

Hi Alexander,

Yes I downloaded an Element 14 library that has the part but is a different package. I tried using the search function in eagle to find another SOT-89 and it comes back with nothing.

I've designed in ExpressPCB many times and they had Common packages SOT-89, 223, etc.. but since I'm new to the software I don't know how to find a basic 3 pin linear regulator.

I will search on Newark now..
