This is my first EAGLE design and I'm looking to add some a number of 2-position screw terminals (3.5mm pitch) PRT-08084.

Problem: I can find the EAGLE part for the 3-position variant named as M03SCREW_LOCK from the Sparkfun EAGLE library. However I cannot seem to find a part called M02SCREW_LOCK.

Will M023.5MM_LOCK be suitable? What should we be looking out for to be sure it's suitable?

You should find similar connectors in con-phoenix-350 library.

What should we be looking out for to be sure it's suitable?

  • distance between pins
  • pin hole diameter
  • copper pad diameter/area
  • clearance to other parts

    \$\begingroup\$ Although less important, I'd also add silkscreen contents to the list. Some parts have more helpful silkscreen layers than others, to show clearance or mounting orientation, etc. \$\endgroup\$
