Hi
Did you manage with the switch? I have a one I can send if you want - but like.
Cheers
John

I'll echo what Anders said...
When you design PCB's YOU decide what to use. YOU have to ensure that the
footprint you use matches the physical switch.
This means that YOU have to get the spec of the device you intend to use,
and look at the physical layout and so on. If you can find a module that
matches, then feel smug :-) If not start drawing.
Seriously, as you design more and more boards, you will find that you
build up a personal library of parts and footprints that you know work
with a particular component type.
For things like switches it only takes a few mins to draw them up anyway
so you might as well do that.
The 3D files are another matter, personally I don't usually bother with
them.
Andy.

Hello
I'm looking out for a 2 pole 6 way switch for my schematic and board
(footprint). Does anyone know of any links that would help.
Many Thanks in advance
