Connector SL

dmitrius

Hello everybody. How to make a similar plug on the board circled in red in Eagle cad? And how to make such a board size circled in blue. Thank you.

  • Hi Dmitriy,

     

    The card edge fingers can be created in a library part just like any other part, except you'll have to create them as SMT pads of the right size and spacing on both sides of the board and remember to turn off the generation of the tCream and bCream for these as you don't want solder paste on them. Create a symbol and map each of these fingers of the package to a pin on the symbol to make a complete device and that should work fine. I think there is an existing card edge connector library, but I would just create it myself if this was my project anyway.

     

    For the board shape, delete the default rectangular board outline from the Dimension layer and then draw a new shape that matches accurately the outline of your board. Now when you add your connector to the schematics you should be able to place the connector in the board so its lined up exactly where it needs to be on the card shape. You'll probably want to add some notes to say the card edge needs to be bevelled and that the connector fingers need to be gold plated.
