KiCad Footprint Assignments

These are the footprint assignments I use based on the standard KiCad libraries and the parts I commonly use:

Part	Footprint	Notes
Mounting Holes
M2.5 spacers	`MountingHole:MountingHole_2.7mm_M2.5`
Eurorack FP drill holes	`MountingHole:MountingHole_3.2mm_M3`
Connectors
Eurorack shrouded power connector	`Connector_IDC:IDC-Header_2x08_P2.54mm_Vertical`	Reverse*
Board connections	`Connector_PinSocket_2.54mm:PinSocket_1x0n_P2.54mm_Vertical`	Main board
	`Connector_PinHeader_2.54mm:PinHeader_1x0n_P2.54mm_Vertical`	Control board, reverse
Thonkiconn jack	`Connector_Audio:Jack_3.5mm_QingPu_WQP-PJ398SM_Vertical_CircularHoles`'	drill out the keepout
Test point	`TestPoint:TestPoint_Loop_D2.50mm_Drill1.0mm`	Reverse and label
Resistors
1% 1/4W	`Resistor_THT:R_Axial_DIN0204_L3.6mm_D1.6mm_P2.54mm_Vertical`	I use this as the default
	`Resistor_THT:R_Axial_DIN0204_L3.6mm_D1.6mm_P7.62mm_Horizontal`	To route tracks under the part
Control pot	`Potentiometer_THT:Potentiometer_Alps_RK09L_Single_Vertical`
Trim pots	`Potentiometer_THT:Potentiometer_Bourns_3296X_Horizontal`	Main board
	`Potentiometer_THT:Potentiometer_Bourns_3296W_Vertical`	Control board
Capacitors
Ceramic	`Capacitor_THT:C_Disc_D4.7mm_W2.5mm_P5.00mm`	Typically power
Film	`Capacitor_THT:C_Rect_L7.2mm_W2.5mm_P5.00mm`	Typically all others
Electrolytic	`Capacitor_THT:CP_Radial_D5.0mm_P2.50mm`	Good for the power, check others sizes
Diodes
Schottky	`Diode_THT:D_DO-41_SOD81_P10.16mm_Horizontal`	Good for the power, check others sizes
Signal	`Diode_THT:D_DO-35_SOD27_P7.62mm_Horizontal`
LED	`LED_THT:LED_D3.0mm_FlatTop`

Ensure you connect reversed parts with F.Cu tracks and a Via to connect to the rest of the B.Cu tracks.
