I'm not sure if this post belongs here or in another community but here we go. I'm working with Eagle cad (pcb) and i'm looking through the libraries and I couldn't find a single MICRO b usb connector. I found a MINI b connector but I truly require a MICRO b connector for my design. Has anybody found one? I need one specifically for this Connector

1\$\begingroup\$ Create your own library then. :-) It's not hard. Do check the Sparkfun Eagle library though; they've got a bunch of stuff there, microUSB most likely too. \$\endgroup\$– Richard the SpacecatJul 15, 2019 at 23:51

3\$\begingroup\$ You really should almost always make your own footprint for connectors like this. Every vendor has their very own mounting scheme so the footprints are always slightly different. \$\endgroup\$– Los FrijolesJul 16, 2019 at 0:17

1\$\begingroup\$ I agree with @LosFrijoles. I always make my own libraries. You won't be sorry that you did. \$\endgroup\$– DerStrom8Jul 16, 2019 at 1:14

1\$\begingroup\$ @Brethlosze Thank you for the link, and to the rest does anybody know how to get started with making my own libraries? \$\endgroup\$– Nathan JohnsonJul 16, 2019 at 13:50

I found this one online that seems to be very similar to the one you posted. I'm testing it against the ones I can source here locally too:
https://github.com/snakeye/eagle-lib/blob/master/connectors/microusb.lbr
If you need ones with surface mounted supports instead:
https://github.com/dvdnhm/Maker-Tools-Eagle-Libraries/blob/master/MicroUSB.lbr
I think these two should fit the common ones you find in the stores.
