Drawing new component

e14 Contributor
e14 Contributor over 13 years ago

Hi,

 

I'll be drawing a component I have which doesn't seem to be in any package available.

It's a battery holder (2032), the datasheet can be found here: http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/1505855.pdf

 

I've drawn several projects before in autocad for work, but they were houses image

But a measure I haven't seen before is 2 x θ1 ± 0.1 ...

So its obvious that they pointed out the 2 pins of 1mm diameter, but what about the "±0.1" ?

 

I know this ain't really an EAGLE specific question, but not sure where to be asking this question.

 

Regards,

Peter

    Hi Peter,

     

    You're correct, 2 pins 1mm diameter. The last bit means a tolerance of +-0.1, e.g. on some devices the pins may be as thin as 0.9mm, or as thick as

    1.1mm diameter.

    So, your PCB hole will possibly be something like 1.3mm +- 0.1mm to guarantee that the component fits.

    Hey shabaz,

     

    Thanks for the fast response. So it's adviced to take about 0.2mm above the thickness with it's tolerance of any component?

     

    Also, not sure if i need to create another topic for this.

    But as you might have noticed on the datasheet there are 3 pillars of 1.5mm But they only stick out of about 0.1 or 0.2mm out of the back of the holder.

    Should this mean the PCB needs to be perforated all the way through? or partially? If it's partially how should this be represented in EAGLE?
