Title: looking for footprint TACT_PANA-EVQ
Post by: buck converter on April 30, 2017, 03:49:33 pm

So I was searching for a TINY enough through hole momentary switch, and this one looks good. https://www.adafruit.com/product/1489. (https://www.adafruit.com/product/1489.) now i just need the eagle footprint. In the board file for the piTFT, a product that uses this switch, it says that it is in the "microbuilder" library, and the footprint name is TACT_PANA-EVQ but any Microbuilder I have come across does not have it.

Does anyone know of a library with this footprint?
Anyone know of an alternative through hole button that is same size or smaller?

Can't find many details on the part, but it seems to be a standard half-width 6mm SPST momentary push switch.

I found a suitable footprint in the adafruit library (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Eagle-Library) under SWITCH_PUSHBUTTON with package TACT_PANA-EVQ.

Also if you can't find a suitable part in libraries in the future, get used to creating your own. It isn't too difficult for one off simple parts like this.
