Eagle PCB package for omron relay

Former Member

Hello,

 

I'm trying to find good package for G6B-1114P-US-SV 5VDC relay (farnel code 9949089) but without success.

 

Does anybody know which component to take form eagle library.

 

Thanks a lot,

frank

    Yes you are right : should be quicker to create part and footprint.

    Must learn how to do it now.

     

    Thanks

    I suppose a rhetorical question but why does the library exist if it is so useless that everyone just makes there own part?

     

    Having said that has anyone made a a4988 stepper motor driver part?

    I understand it is a rhetorical question but for the benefit of others who come aross this thread (this comes up hundreds of times); it is because everyone's needs are different. The parts libraries are merely examples, copy similar ones if you find them and edit them or (probably far quicker) create your own. It takes a few hours of practice after reading the EAGLE user manual PDF or watching a couple of videos.

    Some people want a completely different physical representation to what others want in the schematic symbols. I sometimes separate the coil from the contacts, into two separate symbols so I can place them far apart. Some people don't.

    Furthermore, even the pads might not suit everyone. Depending on how the part will be soldered and reliability level desired and physical board size, the decision will be different as these parameters change.
