This is the holy grail for [http://www.sparkfun.com Spark Fun Electronics]. Each footprint is a custom layout. This library has been compiled over 5 years and 100s of man hours worth of work. If you are a student, please, enjoy and learn. If you are a professional, please buy something from www.sparkfun.com to help us out.

List of current fp's:
 
 
* Please see error note in list below for SOT-457 FP. Thank you making this library available. I hope this note helps make it even better! --[[User:Hraftery|Hraftery]] 04:06, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
other footprint libraries:
 
* [[SFE Footprint Library Eagle]]
 
* [[PCB Footprints]]
 
 
 
Currently we use Protel DXP for 90% of our layouts. Eagle is also used but we don't create as many FPs. The zip file above contains only a Protel library.  It does not contain even a minimal one for Eagle.  (Is anyone aware of any format conversion utilities which might be helpful? --dave)(''Some format conversion utilities are listed [http://techref.massmind.org/techref/app/format_conversion.htm at the massmind] -- do you know any others? -- David'')
 
 
 
Please take all these footprints with a grain of salt. Most of the FPs we make are rather exotic and complex. We rarely trust an FP from anyone else thus usually creating our own.

*PG31 - GPS receiver from Laipac. Includes silk area for MMCX connector.
 
 
*PIC ICSP Mini - This is a custom FP by SFE. It's a in circuit serial programming jack that is 1.5mm pitch. Used to program just a bootloader onto a board without using up the space of a full sized programming header
