Library/Footprint for IDC connector

e14 Contributor

Hi,

 

I need to use a 35-pin, 2mm IDC connector in my schematic. Any recommendations on which library to use? Not sure which default eagle library( if it has IDC connectors) to use to look for IDC connectors.

 

Thanks

    For assistance in searching for parts in the supplied libraries have a look

    at the FAQ on the Cadsoft website.

    You are doing it backwards. First find a connector that you can find in

    stock and at the price target. This would include tools to do the crimp.

    Then look in the lib's and quite a few have connectors.

     

    What ever you find you need to verify it with the data sheet. This is

    about as hard or harder then making the part from the data sheet and you

    save time not looking for it. I use a spread sheet to calculate  all of

    the x,y from the center of the part and place the lines and pads using

    that info.
