Hi,
I am using the Relay RELAY_2RT from the EEschema device library.
I have a couple of question about it -
1. Why does it not use contiguous pin numbers instead using pins 1,3,5 8,9 and
12,14,16 ?
My guess is it uses a standard package with missing pins to get double
spacing. Please
It all depend what actual device the part was based on, but essentially it is
as you say. Relay bases have a long history.
Find the data sheet for the actual relay you are going to use and pick the
footprint from that.
My suspicion is that the device in the library is a DIL16 part so you
Hi all,
I wish someday the Kicad developpers will have the time to divide a sheet (as
of eeschema for example) as two independent spaces:
(1) The area inside the page limits, in which all components and connections
are treated as usual so it can be called active or Real.
(2) Outside the
Many relays have a standard numbering system, especially if they are
intended to be plugged into some form of holder. there are some
variations, but generally they are two digit such as 11, 12, 13, 21, 22,
23 and so on, the coils are normally A1 and A2. I have also seen some
bases with a letter
If I understand correctly what you are asking for, it's already there.
Just add a range of components that you are using once. If you wish you
can place them outside the drawing outline.
Then right click on a component, select copy and place the copy
wherever you need it.
I generally don't
Hi,
Thank you for the answer. That brings me to the question as to what to do if I
do not have a data sheet for the part.
Can I measure various lengths on the part and gaps between the pins and create
my footprint ?
What should be the minimum tolerance (in inches) to get a decent footprint ?
Andy,
Thank you. Please send me the schematic part as well as the foot prints.

Subject: Re: [kicad-users] Footprint for a Relay ?
One trick I sometime use if I cannot find a datasheet, (rare as you can
usually find one in the various suppliers catalogues.) is to use a piece
of matrix board. Most leaded components are on a 0.1 inch grid (there are
exceptions but there are not too many) You can then count the hole
spacing.
Thank you Andy for your reply.
In my turn and if I understood well, your Kicad version of eeschema allows you
to place components and perhaps uncomplete connections outside the main page
without worrying about their wrong/missing annotation or the non connected
pins... etc. Isn't what you

I just have to put a different pad size on the mask layers!

Ahh! a slightly different way of working I miss-understood what you were
saying...
You can move things about on and off the circuit area wherever you
want, but that's all. While designing I don't use erc or bom,
that all comes AFTER the design is done, when I delete all the leftover
parts and
Hi Andy,
Your actual way is also my favorite one so I know what you mean.
That is why and as I mentioned at the beginning... what I have suggested was
and will be always a wish... I guess :)
