I am trying to design a footprint for the above connector. It requires that the pads of the connector are left bare copper (to be finished ENIG). How can I do this?
Thanks,
Sid

Use the “connector” pad type, and double-check that the F.Paste layer is disabled for the pad.

Or, I totally forgot…

I have that connector in my own library already

Just download and import, license is CC0 so you can steal it outright. I’ve used it before, so it’s tested.
