Can't find a 2 pin non-smd push/tact button in Eagle 5.2.0 Light

autodeskguest

Hi,

 

I am doing a small project using Eagle, but I can't find a non-smd 2 pin

push-button in any of the libraries. I have tried to search for

"button"/"switch"/"tact"/"push" - no success. Can you tell me what to use

because I want to avoid creating my own library.

 

Thank you,

 

Vlad.

 

PS: the size of the this push button is about 6x6mm. I don't have any

datasheet for it.

  • Go here for a switch like you described:

    I don't understand your reluctance to create a library part, especially

    since your part only requires two vias for the through-hole pins.  I

    recommend you research parts and availability before you design a board.

    DigiKey has links to spec sheets for what they sell.  Learning how to make

    custom library is well worth the time it takes.  Your switch would make an

    excellent starting point.
