Hello,

I am new to Eagle and already spen a day with no result. I am looking
for a library part which seems inexistent. I need a part equivallent to
http://www.futurlec.com/Connectors/PCBT3.shtml. The closest i found is a
wago with 5.08mm pitch :(

Thanks in advance for your help

Guy

Hi Guy.

What you need, could that be con-wago-508? The package W237-3E has 5mm
from center to center of the pins.

Thanks Mogens, It seems that it's .2" pitch as on a .05' gride it takes
4 places. Am i mistaking?

Hi Guy.

I will try to take you a small trip into a new board. Start eagle, then
file-new board - find view in top menu - click grid.
Change inch to mm - use only 1.0 and set grid on. Now ADD con-wago-508
and take w237-3E, place it on the grid and count the lines
between two pins. Then you can go back to 1.27mm grid.
And one more. Have you found some good stuff i the installation folder
of Eagle, the folder DOC have the manual and tutorial in more
language. They are your helping hand.
Good luck.

Mogens

It's raining in Denmark

With only 3 pins a 5mm part is equivalent to 0.2"
It is part of the learning curve to make your own lib parts.
One of the reasons is you should verify every lib part you use. This
takes about as long as making a part from scratch and you save the time
looking for the part.

Thanks Paul

Well, The parts i'll be using are end stackable .2" will fast accumulate
to impractical insertion

I will be happy to design my own parts but honestly this seems requiring
a very advanced level. Can you point me to a good and correct tutorial
for doing this?

As some guys told you already there is wago...
Generally connectors are in the libraries con-...
At he bottom left of the add dialog you can enter a search string.
If you still can't find a suitable device check @ the cadsoft download
center libraries. Last not least there is a library editor... ;-)
