Combined SMD and THT solder pad footprints-Where are they?

[djsbriscoe]

Some time ago, I remember seeing PCB footprints that combined a SMD pad with a conventional THT pad with a hole. Are these available in the current KiCad libraries? If not, where would i find them? Maybe there are some legacy libraries stored somewhere? Thanks.

This is the only reference to these types of footprints that I can find

Making universal (SMD and through-hole) footprint

Hi there! I’d like to create universal footprint which I can use for both SMD and through-hole processes. The result is the following: [image] The main question: Do I need to electrically connect SMD pad 1 to TH pad 1 (and same to pad 2)? As you can see they WILL be electrically connected as the pads intersected each other. But can I be sure that I will not need to put a hollow trace between them during tracing? Auxiliary question 2: is that correct that first (square) pad is a cathode?

To answer my own question I’ve found this library

Imagine you have:

• A THT (Pad or Device)
• A SMD (Pad or Device)

And Want to combine the THT and SMD

• Option #1: Just one on top of the other then, ignore DRC error of Silk and Mask etc

• Option #2: Make a Footprint containing both and draw a graphic (for Keepout, Silk… if desired). No DRC errors.

Screenshot shows the two items, then stacked on top of one-another then, a Footprint
(and are set to the same Net (tofu))
