I was looking for an AC Power Connector to mount on PCB. I wanted to implement a power supply for my MCU circuit right there on the PCB.
I had to search a lot, but in the end I did come across the right footprint.
As a side note, it is found in default EAGLE libraries by the name of AC Connector. I was searching for AC Power Jack, AC Plug, AC Socket etc.
Attached is the screen cast of an AC connector that I found in EAGLE (and the one I am gonna use).
However, I don't understand the pinout. There should be Live and Neutral pins, but there are three. What is the middle one used for?
