Draft: Add horizontal Molex KK 254 and its fork, aka KF2510

Mojca Miklavec requested to merge mojca/kicad-footprints:molex-kk into master

See kicad-footprint-generator#676 for description.

This is not meant to be merged, but to be finalized before starting to work on generator. The fake part has the "holder" on a different side than Molex (Molex has it on top, fake has it on the bottom).

Questions:

  • How to name the fake part?
  • What should be changed on the silkscreen?
  • I don't know how to calculate the courtyard. It could be smaller, but similar parts use a larger one.
  • What datasheet to quote for the fake part?
  • It probably make sense to draw all the visible (but only visible) parts of pins?
  • It would probably make sense to have an additional version for placing the connector at the edge of the board (can be taken care of later)?
  • The size of the female is know and it could be helpful to include it in courtyard, but no other connector does that.

Vertical Molex fork (almost the same as vertical Molex, but pin assignments are reversed and using 1.0 instead of 1.19 mm hole):
