Multiple components for a single symbol

[Udi_Hakim]

Hi,
I am looking for a clean way to have multiple components for a single symbol so when I’m generating the fabrication output my BOM and positions files it will contain all the relevant components.
Examples for where it is needed:

*Raspberry Pi CM5 has two 100 pin connectors. (Requires two components for each symbol)
*Clips shielding like the Harwin system needs to have multiple clips for a single shielding can. (Requires at least 4 components for each symbol)

Is it supported by KiCad without having me injecting the components after exporting my fabrication files?

Duplication of PADs for symbols

There are several threads dealing with that multiple symbol/footprint problem:

A similar topic has already been discussed earlier. In general, the approach of using one symbol and several footprints is not quite right for me. In your case, create a component in the form of a module contour for RP5 with reference points for placing connectors and separate connector components and attach the connectors to the module reference points on the board.
