I want to produce a printed circuit board in EagleCad. Below picture is and example circuit.

enter image description here

I want to add M1 and M2 holes in my circuit for soldering, but I do not know what their names in real life and in EagleCad software. Also, I want to be able to make their radius 5mm long. How can I implement this in EagleCad.

names in real life

They are called castellated holes.

Complexity Levels (or Class levels) There are several factors that contribute to the complexity of a castellated hole. The main critical design attributes are:

• Hole size

• Number of holes per board

• Single hole or multiple hole designs

• Surface finish

Example of creating the castellated holes is here: Designing castellations/half holes using EAGLE

  • \$\begingroup\$ M1 and M2 are not castellated holes, they're just plain old holes. I do think however you should hold this answer for his/her next question, and it's a more interesting question/answer indeed. \$\endgroup\$ – Spehro Pefhany Jan 17 '17 at 13:27

Those are plated holes, and there's a library of hole components in Eagle.

  • \$\begingroup\$ What should I type in search area Sir? Plated hole is not available. Sorry for my knowledge about Eagle. \$\endgroup\$ – orkun Jan 17 '17 at 13:09
  • \$\begingroup\$ What about searching for "hole"? \$\endgroup\$ – Marcus Müller Jan 17 '17 at 13:10
  • \$\begingroup\$ Approximately 100 results show up. \$\endgroup\$ – orkun Jan 17 '17 at 13:10

    \$\begingroup\$ I know the answer to the question you asked, which was "which type of device in eagle should I use, and how to find it". I can't read your mind and tell you which specific type of hole you need, so really, giving you a list of candidates shouldn't really pose a problem for you. For heck's sake, there's the diameter even in the name of these components. \$\endgroup\$ – Marcus Müller Jan 17 '17 at 13:29
