Hello,

I am a newbie on this KiCad designing, and I was wondering what would be the right footprint for this trimmer: https://www.digikey.fi/en/products/detail/kyocera-avx/601040/10491370

Hello KKallela

Thank you for the inquiry, if you have checked the KiCad Libraries for this part layout here - KiCad Library | DigiKey, and it was not listed. This would be a great opportunity to learn how to make your own layouts. This layout should be a fairly simple design. The pin spacing can be found on the datasheet here Carbon_Preset_E_HA06-1.pdf (kyocera-avx.de).

There are many tutorials you can find online for creating your first footprint on KiCad I have linked one below that should get you from start to finish with this layout.
