Re: A footprint for the part of a flex circuit that inserts into the connector?


 

Hi,

I'm designing a system that requires a flex to insert into a connector (Molex 5014610491).? The layout of this part of the flex is precisely specified in the documentation and, if I am going to draw it carefully and use it again in the future, it seems natural to make it a "footprint".

However, it doesn't seem like a natural fit... For example, the edge cut layer is not available in the footprint editor.
In KiCad 6 (nightly) the Edge Cut layer is available.

In KiCad 5 you could use the drawings layer to put down the outline and the Comments layer to explain that this should be aligned with the edge.
