Eagle Parts..need help !

[Malc C]

I'm pulling my hair out trying to find a 3.5mm mono (or stereo) PCB mouted socket for a project I'm working on in Eagle.. I've browsed the on line downloads and the built in library but can't find anything !

Can someone point me in the right direction, or tell me how to design one on a commercially available part in the UK (RS components ideally)

Cheers

I found under "con-limberg.lbr" 3.5mm phono jacks, both mono and stereo.

Part numbers are in the KLBR2, KLBR4, 1501 and 1503 serise.

Hope this helps.

Ahhh .. that's what happens when you don't update the softwer.. I was running 4.13 !!

Cheers Gary, downloaded 4.16 and now have something that I can work with

Note that there's an awful lot of variation in 3.5mm jack styles. You might be better
off creating your own library that actualy matches the jacks you can get, rather than
trying to find a jack that matches the (German?) part that happens to be in the
library!

Well I normally print off any data sheet for a part I'm working with in such cases, then check the pin positions etc by printing off the track layout and overlaying the component drawing over it to see if they match, which in this case it matches 100% :)
