Eagle Part for the Neutrik TRS Jacks on the MB-6582?

Parts Questions
1

Anyone know where I can find an Eagle library for the Neutrik 1/4" stereo switched phono plugs like the ones used on the MB-6582? Eagle (part no NMJ6HFD2)? Eagle has a Neutrik library but none of the audio jacks are even close to the NMJ6HFD2 and equivalents.

I am basically making my own passive mixer board and was going to use PCB mount jacks to keep things simple. There’s a few reasons for wanting to use my own board. For one, I can use extra filter boards (such as the SSM 2044, yummy!) without needing another set of outputs or anything like that. I am also going to add a CMoy style preamp to the passive mixed output, which I also hope to switch between a front-mounted mixed phones jack as well as a rear mounted one.

In any case, before I go spending a lot of time making a layout for the Neutrik TRS jacks (I haven’t done that before :slight_smile: ), I thought I’d check to see if anyone had one for use? Willing to buy you a beer via PayPal :slight_smile:

EDIT: Though it is a bit off topic, for the curious, here is a rough draft of the audio board (I’m simply calling it AudioBus). The 5-pin headers are what I would like to be the PCB-mount Neutriks.

Guess I owe myself a beer :slight_smile:

I haven’t yet printed it out and compared visually but I went off the measurements of the datasheet. Also there are no pin labels since I could not figure out how to move those around on the symbol. In any case, if I find that it works I’ll update this again and throw the library up on the wiki. For now, I just thought I would share my work in case anyone might find it useful.

Made a few revisions mostly to widen the holes for the pins and fix the placement of the ground pins (they were every so slightly off). Button the connector next to the library print-out indicates it should work, so I went ahead and put it on the Eagle MidiBox Library page on the wiki. It’s still a “use at your own risk” sort of thing but it does seem like it would do the trick. Enjoy!
