Need library for RJ11 6P4C Modular Connector

Question

I recently bought these type of low profile RJ11 6P4C 4 Pin 90 Degree Needle Welded Type Modular Telephone Connector for my electronics project, but unfortunately I can't find any Eagle CAD library or schematic part, footprint for it.

Is there anyone who already has this part library or something?

btw...the seller didn't provide me any Technical datasheet upon my request!

Hi Viktor, Creating your own custom parts is easy once you get the hang of it. Here are a couple of good tutorials you can go through to get the essentials of what you need to do: From Adafruit: https://learn.adafruit.com/ktowns-ultimate-creating-parts-in-eagle-tutorial/introduction From Dangerous Prototypes: Cadsoft Eagle how to make parts tutorial - DP Once you get the hang of the basics you can then build on that with more advanced features like technologies, variants and enabling pin swapping etc. Here is a site with a few tutorials on these topics: Ilektronx: eagle tutorial If you are planning on doing any serious design work in Eagle I recommend creating your own libraries from scratch rather than trying to find libraries for things you want to use on the internet. A lot of libraries you can find are of varying quality and generally I find it takes as long or longer to sort out a third party library to look right and check them for accuracy (very important!) than to just create them from scratch in the first place which once you get used to it and have an existing library of symbols and footprints to base things on, can be done in a matter of minutes for a lot of parts.
