Finding parts in general, Terminal block in particular

Question

Hi again,

I'm trying to put some "On-Shore" terminal block connectors on a board and don't see a library names that gives me hope.

Is there a way to search everything in the library directory? When you add a part it is pretty easy to form a RE search but I don't know a way to search all libraries.

And lastly is there a good choice for a 3.5mm through hole terminal block part?

Thanks as always,

There will not be a library item for every manufacturer but some parts may

be generic. One has to either find the generic or create ones own.

"On Shore" have many designs. It is best, in all cases, to provide a link to

the product data sheet when asking these questions. The format of the part

may jog someone's memory for a similar part that may be part of an inducrty

standard so may be in another manufactures library.

Searching can only be affected from the ADD as you have found. What is

returned from a search / ADD done from a schematic (device centric) is

different to that done from the board (package centric).

And lastly is there a good choice for a 3.5mm through hole terminal
block part?

Again the datasheet would help
