    Hi Zoltan,

    We do not have a PCB footprint available for EAGLE, but our design files for the KIT-CRD-CIL12N-XM3 contain the layout Gerber files that you can reference to create a footprint based on our recommendations. In order to connect the V+ and Midpoint terminals of the XM3 module to a PCB, you will need to fabricate metal standoffs that fill the space between the power terminals and the PCB. This is necessary as the power terminals of the XM3 module are not planar (to enable simple laminated bussing designs for minimizing inductance and cost) as shown below. Please find the recommended standoff design below.
