Added TO-46-4 + ThermalShield for LM399

Patrick Baus requested to merge github/fork/PatrickBaus/LM399 into master

This is the footprint for the Analog Devices LM399. It comes in a TO-46-4 package but is inside an enclosure made of Polysulfone.

This PR comes with the footprint PR over here : https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-symbols/pull/1548. I will also add the 3d model as soon as I have updated it according to the design rules. Should take a day or so.

The first pad is oval, because this makes soldering easier than the rectangular version and the current TO-46-4 package has an oval pad for pin 1 as well.

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!)
