Custom Headers

A project log for Eagle Libraries

This will be a repository for my current custom Eagle Libraries. (Eagle 7.2)

I often need slightly customised headers or connectors for various purposes. In this instance I needed a surface mount 0.1" header footprint which I later replaced with the modified 8 pin through hole header. Lastly I needed a footprint for a terminal block that has 2 solder contacts but is only a single output. Interesting parts all in all.

A supplier example is here: Farnell

Eagle library (for 8 pin version) here: SMD Header

This is the footprint of the modified 2X4 0.1" header. This is to allow 4 inputs with a VCC and GND that is no wider than the 4 data pins themselves. I doubt this is a readily available product...

Eagle library: 2X4 Header Modded

Finally I want to be able to use screwless terminals in my projects. An example of a product that would fit into the footprint: Farnell

A neat little wire to PCB connector with a pitch of 2.54mm so as to keep everything compact.

The footprint looks like this in Eagle:

The extents of the connector are also shown.

Eagle library: Edge Wire Terminal

Thanks for looking.
