How to add connection points for soldered wires

scott216

I'm new to using Eagle.  I want to have some holes in my circuit board that I will solder wires into.  How do I show these holes in the schematic? Is there a component that can represent this hole?

    If you want the connection points shown in the schematic, then ADD a

    Hole component (with an assigned PAD).  See holes.lbr for examples. The

    Package can consist of just a Round PAD with a typical Drill size 0.033"

    and Diameter 0.063" for AWG 22 wire.  In a last-minute pinch, you could

    always just add VIAs to the board, but you would lose desired documentation.

     

    We also usually place a strain-relief hole next to the pads to run the

    wire through to minimize strain on the solder point; you can just add

    HOLEs in the Board design (large enough for the wire insulation).

    Hello Scott,

     

    There's a standard library with Eagle for that: wirepad.lbr. Contains a 

    simple schematic simple and just one pad for the board, in different sizes.
