Is there a way to create your own footprint?
One solution is to start creating your own footprint or library for that component which will require digesting the datasheet properly; this process could be time-consuming and frustrating sometimes when you are using the wrong platform or working with a large number of pins. Fortunately, there are other ways around this.
Where can I find the footprint of a component?
Just like SnapEDA, Ultra Librarian it’s also a rich platform to find most component footprint you are looking for. They offer both 2D, 3D, layout, the footprint of most components and even supports a lot of CAD software. They are available to download for free.
What are the guidelines for creating a PCB footprint?
Here are some general guidelines to remember: Start with exact information: Ensure that you have the correct specifications for the part and the relevant standards, such as IPC-7351, to use as a blueprint. Build the footprint from the ground up: Start first with the pad information.
How to create a footprint for a Molex connector?
Here is the connector I want to create the footprint for. It’s the 3 pin version. Download the STEP (.stp) model from the Molex web site. Unzip it somewhere sensible. Also open up the datasheet drawing. Open up your footprint library. Do Tools->New Blank Component. Since the component is specified in mm in the datasheet, switch to metric units.
