Know some this SMD Switch [need Drawing to build footprint]

Hi,

did anyone know this smd switch? I am searching for a drawing to make a footprint.
This switch comes from a chinese ebay seller and there are no additional information.

I don’t want to start a discussion about how sensless it is to buy this parts on ebay, so don’t slap me. :slight_smile:

I hope someone have had this part in his hands and can help me out.

Get yourself a vernier and make some measurements. It shouldn’t be hard to make a footprint for that.

You don’t give any dimensions but try this:

Hey, I literally just received a little packet of those same switches from ebay! I haven’t checked yet, but they look similar to this one https://cnlydz.en.alibaba.com/product/60472644800-209940861/power_mini_slide_switch_1p2t_7pin_push_swiitch_smd_slide_switch_LY_SK_02.html?spm=a2700.8304367.0.0.aGfE6v

Edit

The switch might be known as “KPS-1290”. I just finished doing a footprint, then I discovered SparkFun carry this part https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10860, they have an Eagle footprint at https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun-Eagle-Libraries in library “SparkFun-Switches.lbr” and the part name is SparkFun-Switches:SWITCH_SPST_SMD_A. Eagle footprint libraries can be loaded directly by KiCad.

I also found a 3d model at grabcad https://grabcad.com/library/slide-switch-surface-mount-1 which I converted for KiCad. Sparkfun also have a 3d model. https://github.com/sparkfun/3D_Models/blob/master/production_parts/switches/switches/SWITCH-SPST-SMD-A/RIGHT_ANGLE/stl/SWITCH-SPST-SMD-A.STL (hey, github shows STLs!)

Here is my version (with grabcad model) sw_slide_7x3.kicad_mod (2.2 KB)
switch_kps-1290-k.wrl (193.5 KB)
