I bought 7 pin 1.25mm JST connectors and I just can’t find a footprint for it. the only thing I could find is for 2.5mm. Any idea where I could find?
Thanks
I don’t mind made my own foto print but I can’t understand the size x and y of the pins from the data sheet:

Perhaps because you’re looking at a surface-mount type?

This measurement has the vertical size of the pads:
I think it’s 1.6mm but the resolution of your image is a bit too low to be sure.
I imported your image and put some pads on it.
I choose 0.6mm by 1.6mm for the electrical pads, and that looks all right.
Mine seem a bit wider, but this is not a very critical dimension, it just leaves a bit more room for a solder fillet to form.
As you can see, I also used rounded corners. Rounded corners are nearly always better for various reasons.

Thanks ,
I’m sorry for the miss understanding, but the one I bought is through hole and not SMD
Its looks like this:
I bought it from Aliexpress so no real datasheet. It might be a clone of this? https://www.molex.com/content/dam/molex/molex-dot-com/products/automated/en-us/salesdrawingpdf/530/53047/530470210_sd.pdf?inline
There is no misunderstanding. First you post a picture of a connector, and then you change to another one. As a result I have lost interest in further responding.

Your question is not about KiCad . . . is it ?
