    Fab KiCad Footprint Library

    Updated and cleaned up 10/15/2020 by zfredin to fix errors and reflect the homelab inventory; prior footprints to /archive.

    footprints

    naming convention

    fab_x_y_z.kicad_mod

    x is category: C, CONN, IC, LED, R, SMD (for generic footprints), etc

    y is size/config: 1x06 (single-row 6-pin header connector), SOIC8 (small outline integrated circuit, 8-pin), etc

    z is an optional descriptor, such as "SMD" for connectors to differentiate from thru-hole versions

    general design strategy

    • hand-solderable (i.e., pads should be a bit longer than those intended for automated assembly and reflow soldering)
    • route-able using a 1/64" (~0.4 mm) end mill
    • maximize bridge span (i.e., space to run two tracks under a 1206 component)
    • centered at 0,0
    • component outline, reference, and value on F.Silk layer
