Programming socket in KiCad

[Tvmender]

Hi All

I am dabbling with KiCad as an alternative to Eagle.

Does anyone know the correct socket type and footprint for KiCad for the programming jack socket? I have looked but not 100% sure.

Many thanks!

Not what you asked for but... One option that I have used was to mount the socket on a small piece of veroboard/stripboard and then mount this vertically on the PCB, using the footprint of a 5-pin header (pin spacing 0.1"). This also saves space on the PCB.

That's brilliant, thank you!

Hi

I do have such an adapter but wanted to keep it all tidy on the board. I usually design my PCB with a 3 pin header onto which a socket with fly leads and a molex plug fits.
