Create Diode_Bridge_Vishay_KBPM.kicad_mod

evanshultz requested to merge github/fork/evanshultz/kbpm into master

This package apparently is apparently called KBP, but KBP is also another package and I'm familiar KBPM with from Fairchild and Vishay such as http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/2238158.pdf. But it's apparently EOL by them. http://www.cdil.com/rectifiers/kbp2xx-series?rq=kbp201 is in production but with the 'G' dimension only having a max and no min. https://www.comchiptech.com/admin/files/product/KBP2005G-G%20Thru.%20KBP210G-G%20RevD.pdf also is the same except that same dimension is about half, which I suspect might be a typo. I used Vishay in the footprint name as many of the diode bridges do, but in reality the diode bridge packages are often shared by many vendors.

All contributions to the kicad library must follow the KiCad library convention

Thanks for creating a pull request to contribute to the KiCad libraries! To speed up integration of your PR, please check the following items:

  • Provide a URL to a datasheet for the footprint(s) you are contributing
  • An example screenshot image is very helpful
  • If there are matching symbol or 3D model pull requests, provide link(s) as appropriate
  • Check the output of the Travis automated check scripts - fix any errors as required
  • Give a reason behind any intentional library convention rule violation.

Be patient, we maintainers are volunteers with limited time and need to check your contribution against the datasheet. You can speed up the process by providing all the necessary information (see above). And you can speed up the process even more by providing a dimensioned drawing of your contribution. A tutorial on how to do that is found here: https://forum.kicad.info/t/how-to-check-footprint-correctness/9279 (This is optional!)
