After creating a pad, we need to configure its type (through), the exact size of the hole, the metallization area, and manually assign a net to it.

Create a mounting hole as a common object using Place > Pad from the main menus.

This connector cannot be created automatically using the IPC Compliant Footprint Wizard, so it must be created manually using the recommended PCB layout view from the datasheet. We can create mounting holes in Altium Designer in two ways. If you have closed the tab with this component, search for it in the Components panel, right-click on its name then select Edit. Let’s create a footprint for the GSB343K33HR component whose symbol was created in chapter 5.1. altium-library/PCB - CONNECTOR - MOLEX - MOLEX KK 0022272091. In Altium Designer, the process of creating footprints is simple, convenient and protected from errors as much as possible. Open source Altium Database Library with over 165,000 high quality components and full 3d models. Any error in the placement of the footprint pads can lead to problems, up to and including the inability to assemble the final device, so library designers should be very careful while creating footprints. Also, the component itself will be soldered onto these contact points, so their configuration should be fully consistent with the actual metal objects of the component. Component footprints contain a set of graphical primitives and copper pads or holes that will be connected to the conductors and will provide a connection. The next step in creating the component is to design the footprint.
