Eagle Part - Power jack like a PC.

Im looking for an eagle part for mounting a jack like this

on a PCB.

Any ideas?

They aren't normally PCB mounted so I doubt you'll find one.

I think the best you could do is put 3 holes with the proper diameter & spacing to accept whatever comes the back of your specific socket.
Otherwise you need a large hole to drop the socket into, with screw holes to secure it, then add wires from the back of the socket to the board.

Sure about that?

I've seen a few PCB mounted before (usually on small power supplies for 1U chassis or similar), just search for "PCB mount IEC socket" on your favourite part supplier's website.

damn,. sorry guys. I guess I didnt set notification on this thread.
Perfect mowcius. Thats what im looking for. Now hopefully I dont fry myself and the arduino with this shield from hell.
I know how you guys love high voltage around here :slight_smile:
IEC Socket is what got me there.

Thanks a lot!!

Uh-oh.

What exactly is this shield doing? People have done high voltage shields before. Wasn't a great idea.

something to this effect. I thought I was an electronics master and then I found out that PCB design is a whole new world.

Am surprised the breadboard tolerated 120V like that.
Got a real schematic of what you have going on there?

nah its not plugged into a breadboard. Thats just scarey even to me :wink:
I'm just learning the schematic/PCB side of things. And flailing badly.
I just ran an auto route in fritzing and it tied the 12vdc input together so its obviously not right... edit just noticed it tied the hig voltage + and - together as well. ***

but heres the (pretty much) working device. Now to create a PCB to rid myself of the wiring nightmare I have going on my current screwshield..

I attached the eagle sch as well. Eagle was blowing my mind so I stepped back to fritzing but god electronics and soldering is a whole different world from schematics and PCB design.

I'd still keep the HV separate (off the shield) or you might end up on the darwin awards page.
