I'm sure I'm just overlooking it, but I can't seem to find a simple coil/choke/inductor in eagle. My project needs a 10uH coil but most I can find are either SMD or have 5-6 pins. I'm using this one from digikey:

Many thanks!

Create your own. It would only take a couple of minutes with the PCB software I use.

In the time it took you to register on the forum, you could have created your own part in your library. One easy way to do it is to start with a through hole resistor library and change the symbol on it.

The RCL library has your axial inductor in it.

Thanks all. I'm very new to eagle but learning.
