Go to Digikey. Click. Find the part. Click click. Download the KiCad footprints. Click click click. Unzip the archive and root around for the files. Click click. Load up KiCad, find the library, import the file. Click click click click. Associate the symbol with the foot print. Click click. Great now do it again for the next 20 parts. This is not electronics design. This is a waste of time. Use American Sensing's KiCad component importer and stop clicking.
