Add JEITA SC-74A (5 pin variant of SC-74)

John Beard requested to merge johnbeard/kicad-footprint-generator:sc-74a into master

This adds the JEITA SC-74A package, which is a 5-pin variant of the SC-74 package (recently standardised to JEITA values in !1005 (merged))

This is a package with many names according to manufacturers, such as SOT-25 and SOT-23-6 (often these packages are manufacturers-specific tightening of the JEITA SC-74A tolerances.

This is the SC-74A over the SC-74 (flipped, blue) - everything is the same except the missing pad:

Related: kicad-footprints!3240 (closed) (which is a Diodes Inc. SOT-25, which is a "tightening" of this generic part (which should fit any SC-74A, not just Diodes parts).


To do this, the IPC Gullwing generator got two new features in separate commits:

  • YAML inheritance to allow derivation of related parts (will also be useful elsewhere)
  • Override of the pin_count so that the name can be SC-74A-5...., not SC-74A-6-5... as would otherwise be the default.

The Readme was updated with these features.
