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.
