Battery contacts - which library?
Created by: mibe
Hey guys,
I have two new footprints ready, they are the 9 volt battery contacts Keystone 269 & 261. My question now is, which is the most fitting library for them?
Of course the Battery
library with the BatteryHolder
footprints first comes to mind. But on a second thought, these parts are contacts, not holders. They have (beside the actual contact) no mechanical support for holding a battery. You'd also need both to connect a battery to and you'd as a designer also need to get the distance of both parts on your PCB right.
My next idea was to maybe put them in the generic Connector
library? They are mating contacts after all, so a designer could use them for whatever they like, as a fancy board-to-board interconnect for example.
What's your opinion on this?
