Hey
i want to create test point on board to see what signal is coming through ic before feeding it to the further stages.
I have used simple 3 pin male connectors uptill now. But now i need two pin test point.
Any library or suggestions?
 

Use a 2 pin connector?

You don't tell us what software you're using, so how can we answer your question???

And what's a "two pin test point"? Do you mean a jumper?
 

sorry
i am using cadsoft eagle lite version
and two pins mean two points across which i need to visualise output
in jumper library we have 4 pin components too

You mean two test points? I think you are making this a LOT harder than it has to be. Use two test points, use a two-pin connector, place two vias...
 

if i use two pin connector they will be adjacent to each other on final board.
I am working on RF freq so that might be problematic.
i found this on net but dont have any idea regarding its library

even if i start making my own library they have not mentioned the distance between two pins. I guess its through hole??
 

Well, if you are using RF, any stub/test point you add is going to upset your impedance; you just need to analyze what affect these stubs will have. You might have mentioned RF in your original post...
 

I think the one i posted in link will create minimum problem but i dont have any idea regarding its mount type pads and all.
It look like through hole to me but they havent specified distance between two pins
 

The tw0 pins go into the same hole! It is not a two pin device, one fits in a 1.0mm hole, the other in a 1.6mm hole. This is pretty basic stuff, I hope your RF PCB skills are better than your library creation skills.:grin:
