What is the footprint file extension for KiCad v6?

0

I downloaded the ASP-134488-01 for KiCAD v6 and the schematic symbol imported OK, but there was no valid footprint file. I tried renaming the .kicad_mod file to .mod, but that didn’t work.

I tried to place the symbol on a schematic and it seemed to work at first and then I got this error:

Failed to retrieve file times for '... .mod' (error 2: ...)

I also tried to download the v5 version and import that but it didn’t work either.

Can you please provide a valid KiCAD v6 footprint (.mod) file?

Hi javant!

Thank you for reaching out.

The KiCad v6 footprint files use the .kicad_mod extension. You can read more about it here: https://dev-docs.kicad.org/en/file-formats/sexpr-footprint/index.html.

That said, we were able to successfully import the footprint for the ASP-134488-01 part into KiCad v6 on our end. Could you please try following the steps from this article? https://support.snapeda.com/en/articles/5995733-how-to-import-into-kicad-v6-and-later

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks,
Ana Trujillo from the SnapEDA team.
