Missing pins with IC SOJ40 memory

Hi

I’m still very green with writing schematics (so please bare with me).

The SOJ40 footprint I’m using doesn’t appear to have the VSS&VCC Pins. Is this normal?

I don’t have the SOJ40 symbols in the kicad library. But there is a symbol for DRAM_1MX16_SOJ. This symbol has the vss and vcc pins set to hidden.


You can see (and connect) them by pressing this button. (Circled symbol on the left toolbar.)

Hidden power pins are automaticaly connected to nets with the same name. Unless they are conneted to a net.

from which library you got this SOJ40 symbol?

Sorry I can’t remember (I’m still learning KiCad).
