I’m looking for the footprint of the pushbutton on the image. Physical dimensions are 6x6mm
It is similar to Button_Switch_THT:SW_PUSH_6mm but it should only have 2 pins.
Unfortunately a picture doesn’t have enough data to go on by for selecting or drawing a footprint. A manufacturer’s datasheet or the physical device along with a caliper is necessary. But, looking at the simplicity of the component it looks like a perfect candidate for drawing your own footprint. Often times simply drawing one is faster than searching and/or asking for an existing footprint if something in the standard library isn’t adequate.
Do you have a datasheet for the desired component?

At a guess the pin spacing will be 5.08mm as it looks like the kind intended to plug into a breadboard.
But yeah a simple measurement of the pin pitch will tell you whats what
If it is the part on page 16 of this Tyco catalogue, it is hard metric 5.0mm:

Needs a 1.20mm hole
