switch real components

[Alealias]

Hello,

I have just had a PCB printed. The PCB was deigned using Ultiboard. Now that I'm soldering the components, I can't find a real switch that fits in the footprint generated in Ultiboard. The switch is SPDT switch from Ultiboard database, where it's called SW_S3P. I need to order a real component to be soldered there... but I'm really having a hard time finding one with the right pin spacing.

I have attached a picture of my footprint with size in mm.

Thanks,

Alessandro

Hi Alessandro,

Have a look at this page, select the "S3P"  it's the best match I found for this footprint:

You should select a part is best for you project and then locate the footprint in Ultboard or built a new one to match with that component.   Trying to order a part from the Ultiboard footprint library is not the ideal, the footprint name are generic and it could be for anything.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Next time I'll make sure to check the components before having the board printed.
