Its also currently hard to reproduce if you make changes with Inkscape. I tried to get across the jack connects to the plug but as I said its ugly. The schematic view is truly ugly as I’m no artist, if one of you artistic types would like to come up with a better schematic view I would be most appreciative. The connection doesn’t appear to care as in the sketch it is the wrong way but still connects. You can (and probably should) move the plug to top in part->raise and lower as that is how it is designed to look plugged in. If you download this you can export the 2 custom parts from the temp parts bin which will at least give you a male barrel connector breadboard icon (and its associated female connector if you actually want to try connecting it). But other than that as this sketch demonstrates this appears to work. Well knock me over with a feather! This hare brained scheme actually appears to work at first blush, Some notes, the plug is a bit odd in that the bendable leads are female (as opposed to normal connections which are male), so you need to drag the wire from the connector to the end of the bendable lead to make the connection. As a side effect it should give you the part you want as well. Male pins (which is the standard for normal parts) connect to female pins (which the breadboards use) so I’m hoping that’s where the magic is. From something Steve (SteelGoose) said some time back I thing the connector secret is male and female pins in the fpz file in the part. I don’t yet know it it will work, but if it does it opens up the possibility of adding a wall wart which can connect as in the real world to Fritzing which is mostly why I’m trying it. The idea is to modify a female coax socket to also have two invisible connectors where the barrel should plug in so it will connect when you move the jack over the socket (and internal busses will make the electrical connections). wires in the real world) on one end and a couple of invisible connectors on the metal barrel end. I’m in the process of making a male coax connector with bendable leads (i.e. The image I posted was an edited version of the core RCA jack (of all things ) which happens to have the correct artistic rendered shape of a coax jack as part of it which I swiped to make a custom part out of because I’m no kind of artist but luckily Fritzing has quite a few good ones to borrow from. Sorry, I should have been clearer :-), the adafruit repro only has the barrel to screw terminal part (and then I think perhaps only female).
