Finished searching for components.

Here are good Flux-library matches for “AC MAINS INPUT (L / N)” (typically a 2-position PCB terminal block, or an IEC inlet if you want a detachable mains cord).

Option A (most common): 2-position screw terminal block (L/N)

PartNotes
XY301V-A-5.0-2P2-pin, 5.0 mm pitch, through-hole, screw terminal, library description includes 300 V / 15 A
2-Position Screw Terminal (691137710002)Würth 2-pos, 5.0 mm pitch, through-hole (has datasheet in library)
KF128-5.08-2P-AA5.08 mm pitch, but library description suggests 250 V (may be too low for some mains specs)

Option B: IEC inlet on the PCB (line/neutral + usually earth)

PartNotes
703W-00_52IEC 320-C14 style, right-angle through-hole, library description: 15 A @ 250 VAC
If you tell me your preference:
  • terminal block vs IEC inlet
  • your target mains (120 VAC or 230 VAC) and whether you need earth/PE …I can narrow it to the best single choice.

I can pick “the one best,” but I need 3 quick constraints because “AC MAINS INPUT (L/N)” could mean either a detachable IEC inlet or a wired terminal block (and the safety/footprint implications are very different):
  • Do you want a detachable mains cord (IEC inlet) or hard-wired mains into a terminal block?
  • Do you need Protective Earth (PE/⏚) on the connector (so 3 positions), or is your product 2-wire only (L/N)?
  • What’s your max mains current (e.g., 1 A, 5 A, 10 A, 15 A)?
If you answer those, I’ll choose one part and stick with it.
If you want the default “most broadly appropriate” for many PCB projects where wiring enters the enclosure (hard-wired, L/N only), I’d pick a 2-pin 5.0 mm pitch screw terminal like XY301V-A-5.0-2P.
If you want a detachable cord, pick the IEC inlet 703W-00_52.
