(3)reason for requesting :

vemeT5ak/fritzing-and-eagle/blob/master/XT60 Connector.fzpz

I already found this connector on the web but this file have fault.

this file don’t have male & female plug. and cannnot connect each other.(there should be 4 connectors in one jack model for input & output, but this model only have 2 connectors.)

this jack is widely used on drone LIPO battery. so if you use LIPO battery for your project this jack is necessary on your PCB board. so I request this useful part.

and this should be imported to fritzing because some PCB have XT60 jack inside, like this link :
http://www.mateksys.com/?portfolio=pdb-xt60#tab-id-1

The referenced Fritzing part is fine (it has no sex and thus can be used as either male or female.) In general connectors don’t “connect” in Fritzing although it is possible to make them do so with some work. Schematic in that part is missing terminalIds and thus the wire connects to the center of the pin which isn’t correct, but that is easy to fix.

I want to my PCB to fabricated, in that time, I want XT60 on my PCB board,

in that time, male or female can be used either…?

and I will try to add 2 more connectors at opposite side of existing connectors,

in inkscape, what name of entity does I have to add?(for example, "connector 3, connector4)

after my work finish, I will upload/submit the part file of new XT60.

always thank you for your reply.

Most of the examples in the referenced web page are not pcb mount but wires (and the referenced Fritzing part looks to have holes suitable for wires.) If you want a pc mount connector you likely need to select it and provide a data sheet with a mechanical drawing so a custom part could be made. With wires male or female doesn’t matter, nor usually will it matter with pc mount (but the spacing and size of the necessary holes does matter!) As to what a part needs to look like these two tutorials apply to the current version of Fritzing:

Part creation howto part 1 breadboard and pcb

Someone in this forum post requested help to fix up a part. So while doing that I decided to record what I needed to do in order to fix the part to provide a tutorial to create new / fix broken parts. If you start from the Tarjeta S4A EDU.fzpz file posted in the above thread, you should be able to recreate my improved part posted in the same thread. I started by loading the original part in to Fritzing, that indicates breadboard is (at first look anyway) pretty good, but schematic and pcb are…

this twisted line is somewhat weird, but i will use this.
maybe male and female is different(+,- direction)

and I already uploaded link here of mechanical size :

and could you recommend the name of additional 2 connectors when I add connectors entity in inkscape…?

drone system draws many current when using so we need XT60 connectors that can handle more current.

The twist is wrong. It connects positive to negative. The wires on the top connector need to be reversed so the black wire connects to the black wire on both ends of the two connectors. That has nothing to do with the part, the error is in the sketch.

@sseaeagle

and I already uploaded link here of mechanical size :

As noted all the ones I see are configured to accept wires soldered to the connector, they are not intended to be pcb mounted. Thus all that is needed on pcb is a hole of a sufficient size to take the appropriate gauge wire. I assume (but did not verify) that the referenced Fritzing part has appropriate sized holes in pcb. You need to check the hole size from the gerber drill file to make sure the holes are big enough for the wire gauge in use.

@sseaeagle

and could you recommend the name of additional 2 connectors when I add connectors entity in inkscape…?

Convention for connector names in Fritzing are of the form connector0pin, increasing by 1 for each new connector. They also need to match the definitions in the .fzp file for the connector. Making parts is a fairly complex process. You will probably need to use the tutorials to get it right.

I thought this jack should have male, female part because this jack have polar protection and have different shape right side, left side.

but it was my misunderstanding. as you said, both male & female hole size is same.(7mm)
there is no need to make different model.

but I have one question :
I didn’t wired up wrongly. it is correct wiring.

because the jack cannot be flipped, it is twisted.

do you have any idea that the reason why jack cannot be flipped…?

[vanepp]

OK. there was so much wrong with the part that I made a pair of new ones (one male one female.) In pcb the hole size was changed to 0.09in to fit 12Ga wire The original is much larger (perhaps to accept the entire pin!)
