Added a set of common generic relays
Created by: osholt
I added generic relays to device library of the following popular configurations: Relay_DPDT Relay_DPST_NC Relay_DPST_NO Relay_SPDT Relay_SPST_NC Relay_SPST_NO
All symbols are consistent with the fully specified relays used in the relays library. Generic relays encounter similar problems to generic op amps regarding pin numbering: every package and every manufacturer uses different conventions. I picked a simple convention to follow in line with generic op amps.
All symbols were tested with the checklib.py script and comply with all KLC guidelines applicable to generic parts.
I have not included any latching relays but I (or someone else) may do this in the future.
As this is a generic library contribution I have not included any specific datasheet or footprint information.
All contributions to the kicad library must follow the KiCad library convention
Thanks for creating a pull request to contribute to the KiCad libraries! To speed up integration of your PR, please check the following items:
-
Provide a URL to a datasheet for the symbol(s) you are contributing -
Provide a screenshot of the symbol(s) from the symbol editor with the pin types visible -
Ensure that the associated footprints match the official footprint library - A new fitting footprint must be submitted if the library does not yet contain one.
-
If there are matching footprint PRs, provide link(s) as appropriate -
Check the output of the Travis automated check scripts - fix any errors as required -
Give a reason behind any intentional library convention rule violation.
Be patient, we maintainers are volunteers with limited time and need to check your contribution against the datasheet. You can speed up the process by providing all the necessary information (see above). And you can speed up the process even more by providing additional info like the screenshot of the symbol editor pin table (or for high pin counts converted to csv) sorted in the same way as the pin table in the datasheet and a direct link to the datasheet page that contains the pin table.
