Which Eagle part to use for this 2-pin Screw Terminal?

Question

This is my first EAGLE design and I'm looking to add some a number of 2-position screw terminals (3.5mm pitch) PRT-08084.

Problem: I can find the EAGLE part for the 3-position variant named as M03SCREW_LOCK from the Sparkfun EAGLE library. However I cannot seem to find a part called M02SCREW_LOCK.

Will M023.5MM_LOCK be suitable? What should we be looking out for to be sure it's suitable?

enter image description here

if something is not in the library or something that doesnt suit my requirements, I would just go and create my own symbol and layout for that part. it is quite handy with eagle. try — dr3patel, Jun 18 '14 at 03:53

You should find similar connectors in con-phoenix-350 library.

What should we be looking out for to be sure it's suitable?

distance between pins
pin hole diameter
copper pad diameter/area
clearance to other parts

Although less important, I'd also add silkscreen contents to the list. Some parts have more helpful silkscreen layers than others, to show clearance or mounting orientation, etc. – JYelton Jun 17 '14 at 20:08
