ATX motherboard connector footprints

autodeskguest

Does anybody know where I can get Eagle footprints for ATX motherboard

power connectors and ide power connectors?

thanks

 

  • You have some options:

     

    1.  Look in the libraries that came with EAGLE.

     

    2.  Look on the cadsoft.de website for libraries that contain these parts.

     

    3.  Look on the manufacturer's website.  Molex is one manufacturer that I

    know makes or made these connectors.  If they don't offer an EAGLE library,

    you can download the datasheet or drawings and use the measurements to draw

    your own library of parts up.

    I'm fairly sure the main ATX power connector is in one of the libraries,

    possibly con-amp or con-molex. I have a feeling it's a "mini-fit".

     

    Don't know about the HD power connectors.

    Thanks for the reply Dan,

    I looked in the Eagle Libraries to no avail, and I checked the website

    with no luck. I simply cannot believe that a universally common part

    such as the atx power connector that probably resides on every

    motherboard that is sold in the US as well as Europe is not included in

    the libraries. They  include the USB connectors  and the serial ports

    etc.???

    Thanks for the reply, its not in there

    I'm puzzled, i cant believe this common connector hasnt already been

    designed.

    The ATX power connector is a molex, and I'm fairly sure it's a mini-fit.

    If so then download con-molex-minifit from the cadsoft website.

    Thanks Rob, it was in the con-molex-2 lbr, now I have to find the 4 pin

    connector that is used for the hard drives and cdrom drives. is that

    also a mini-fit?

    thanks for your help

    Are they PCB mounted connectors ?  I would have thought not.

  • Thanks Rob, it was in the con-molex-2 lbr,

     

    Ah, yes, I forgot it had been renamed after I uploaded it.

    drives and cdrom drives. is that also a mini-fit?

    No. The mini-fit range are 4mm spacing, the hard drive power connector

    is 5mm (actually it's 0.2"). Try FLOP-4W from con-amp.lbr (it's for a

    5.25" floppy rather than a 3.5" so it's the same as the CD / HDD one).
