Hand soldering version of Keystone 1060 battery holder

KiCad Bot requested to merge github/fork/mibe/Keystone_1060 into master

Created by: mibe

The contacts on the original footprint are in line with the manufacturers recommendation in the datasheet, but are pretty tight for hand soldering. The pad has the same size as the contact:

20200430_141508

I've made a copy of the original footprint, appended the _HandSoldering suffix and added 1 mm to the size of the pads in X & Y direction. I also adapted the size change to the CrtYrd and Fab layer.

Unbenannt

Travis checks:

  • F5.3: I don't know where this violation comes from - AFAIK all lines are within the 0.01 mm grid? Fixed in KiCad/kicad-library-utils#334
  • F9.3: I checked C_1206_3216Metric_Pad1.42x1.75mm_HandSolder, it also uses the 3D model from the not hand soldering counterpart. Am I supposed to also add a copy to match the filenames or is it okay to use the filename from the original counterpart?

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!)
