sorry for the uber noob question:
does anyone know if there is an existing footprint for this connector? :
3M P50-060S-RR1-EA
or
KEL-8801
Thank you.
I take it you have some on hand that you want to use up?

They have a few models on the link you gave but I don’t know the format.

There are a few places online that will make these for you.
thanks hermit.
i do have an old modem board I can desolder this connector from if need be.
i started a requeste for a footprint model on https://componentsearchengine.com/
we’ll see if they can hook me up.
I’m trying to engineer this board for a vintage laptop: CF adapter for Toshiba portables - Conventional Memories Wiki
the author doesn’t have gerber files posted and I can’t reach out to him for it. so I’m teaching myself kicad… thank you!
I opened the .IGS and .STP in FreeCad. No problems. Image below.
(the x_t are generally from Pro-E and I no longer have Pro-E loaded on my machine).
If you make a Footprint, you can load .STP file into the 3D panel in the Footprint Editor.
Review tutorials on making Footprints (Note: Footprints are only the Pad and and associated graphics (silk, courtyard…etc). The 3D model (.STP) is used only for Graphic representation in the 3D-Viewer. Thus, not essential for circuit…
thanks, Blackcoffee!
indeed i loaded into kicad as a 3D model for the footprint I’m using. looks like I got the info I was looking for. now to engineer the schematic for the project I’m working on!
cheers!
Maybe you’ll like to take a look at KiCad StepUp, a FreeCAD’s workbench that can help you make footprints from 3D models:
EDIT: Mmm, it doesn’t appear to be working as before
