Connector Samtec HLE: Changed link to 3D models of footprints with option BE.

Joerg Laukemper requested to merge (removed):mr_conn_samtec_hle_be into master

As discussed in issue #2507 (closed) i changed the link to the 3D models of all Samtec HLE SMD footprints having option BE. The new link now references the 3D model connected with the Samtec footprint without option BE, since both 3D models are the same.

In order to generate the footprints i changed the corresponding script https://gitlab.com/kicad/libraries/kicad-footprint-generator/-/blob/master/scripts/Connector/Connector_Samtec/conn_samtec_hle.py
As soon as this MR is accepted i will launch a MR for the updated script.

All contributions to the kicad library must follow the KiCad library convention:
Of course the new footprints are not in accordance with KLC. The difference in file name and 3D model name will result in a violation F9.3.

  • Provide a URL to a datasheet for the footprint(s) you are contributing
  • An example screenshot image is very helpful (i did not change the footprintse)
  • If there are matching symbol or 3D model pull requests, provide link(s) as appropriate (the 3D models are ready, i can start a MR)
  • Check the output of the automated check scripts - fix any errors as required (voilation F9.3)
  • Give a reason behind any intentional library convention rule violation. (see #2507 (closed))

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!)
