Molex angled KK type footprint?

[Guillaume_Boulay]

Hi,

curious if someone made a library for the molex KK type with angled connector.
I can’t seams to find it and a bit too lazy to make my own foot print today…

thats the one I’m looking for.
https://www.molex.com/molex/products/datasheet.jsp?part=active/0022053031_PCB_HEADERS.xml

since molex has many names for the series 7478, models KK 254, and even a different name for part# the kicad format footprint is probably out there but I’ve missed it…

if not I`ll make my own this weekend and learn to perfect mastering stepup again

Right now we don not have these in the official lib. The vertical connectors are scripted using this script: https://github.com/pointhi/kicad-footprint-generator/blob/master/scripts/Connector/Connector_Molex/conn_molex_kk_254_tht_top.py

I made some i while ago. Maybe you can use them as a starting point: https://github.com/SnowMB/pcb_library

Feel free to use them as you like.

Thanks @SnowMB !!

I guess I should use the regular KK connector library shema and then in PCBnew simply swap with your 3d ?

In schema i always used the generic connector with enough pins. Then choose one of my footprints. There are also step 3d models included, but you have to re-enable them yourself i think. I worked with a dedicated environment variable for my private library. But you can see the transformation in the footprint file.

what version are this library made for ? I’m still running 4.07 at the office and when I try to import I get invalid… guess it’s version reason ?!

[SnowMB]

Might be. I’ve done this in 5.0

[Guillaume_Boulay]

yea, works perfectly on 5!
Thank you sir
