New Template Request: TH parts with offset leads

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Can you add a new template for through hole devices with offset leads? An example would be a 3 terminal TH potentiometer where one of the leads is offset on the Y Axis.
See 3059Y (https://download.siliconexpert.com/pdfs2/2024/8/8/17/31/30/991364/bos_/manual/3059.pdf) as an example.

I am sure there are other devices besides pots that have this style of footprint.

I can get close with what's there, but they are 2 terminal devices and it's a bit of effort to add the third pin.

Thank you!
