That would definitely work, (as Alex and Halo have pointed out it still wouldnt be technically correct) but make both a TAB and a GND on the symbol, then you could GND them both in the .sch when you initially lay it out and once the board’s finished if you find those remaining air wires you could go back and remove the needed GND from whichever of the 2 pins was giving you that issue from the .sch.
Anybody have an Omten 1217 library to share with me?
It’s not by any means official but I’m trying to figure out how to up load it. I’m digitally challenged so the obvious isn’t. In the end it might take you less time to make your own but his evening is dedicated to omten.
I didn’t totally understand the tutorial on creating my own, and I couldn’t find a data sheet for the 1217.
You can also just take measurements of a switch. Mtn lists the body as 12.40mm x 16.80mm and I believe the tabs are 5mm wide.
Thanks, that’s helpful. I’m still waiting for fasttech to deliver mine or else I’d measure myself.
I just wish I could install Eagle at work so i could do this when I’m bored…. 
Anyone have a library part for the mmu size 13A and the LFPAK 33?
They are already in the Element 14 files. You may have to search for the LFPAK33 under its alternate package name.
Thanks.
Oshpark drc puts a 6 mil (.15mm) spacing minimum between same signal vias. Is this a hard limit or can it be fudged? I.E. Can the via pads be almost touching if the drill centers meet the minimum spacing?
As long as the drill holes don’t overlap you can do as you please with the pads.
I believe you will be fine as long as the actual drill holes are not closer than the minimum drill spacing.
Does anybody have an eagle lbr for this type of switch? Dimensions are 3x6x3.5mm.
I’ve looked in Farnell but cannot find any at this time
It was my understanding that the SIR800DP has a slightly different footprint than the LFPAK56, but it worked ok on that footprint. Is this true, or are they actually a perfect fit?
Different footprint, but designed to be compatible (just like LFPAK56 is designed to be compatible with lots of others).
4 front pins are much shorter than on LFPAK56, and the rear section has no exposed pad on top so it is good to extend the LED- pad out a bit more. If you were only going to use PowerPAK SO-8 footprint on a flashlight driver I would shorten the front 4 pins then use the extra space you gained out back.
Thanks!
I found some switches similar to that on eBay where it was listed along with the data sheet dimensions for the locator pins and solder pads. You might try looking there for switch info. Otherwise just measure it and make it up. The locator pins(if any) would be the critical item since everything else has a fudge factor.
