Hello fellow gEDA/PCB users,
What would be the correct footprint to use for a typical leaded PTC thermistor (vertically mounted disc with two pins coming out the bottom, 5 mm apart)? Is there an existing pcb footprint (either m4 or newlib style) that would work, or would it need to be a new footprint? Drawing a footprint with just two pins is not hard at all obviously, but I still need to know how to call it. :-)
I would call it THERM-500P-<length>L-<diameter>D
where <length> is 100 * body length (mm) and <diameter> is 100 * body diameter (mm)
or THERM__<mfg>_<mfg_pn>
where <mfg> is the name of the manufacturer and <mfg_pn> is the manufacturer's part number.
