Missing thermal pad connection in KiCad

Hello there,

Thanks for reaching us. Did you try expanding the pins for this part?

To view all pins for the part, please click on your profile icon and navigate to account settings. Then, download and re-import the pins on KiCad.

Kindly let us know how it goes, so we can further help with this.

I don't see how expanding the pins would help.

If you take the TPS26631RGER.kicad_sym file and search its contents for "25" (the pin number of the thermal pad in the footprint), then you will see that it does not feature.

See this shell output demonstrating this:

That's because any ground pins are grouped on KiCad by default, which could be affecting how you view the footprint connections.

In any case, we're sending this information to our engneers so they can review this part. We;ll get back to you once they provide an update.

Hi there,

Ron here, stepping in for Carlos. We want to let you know that we have also updated this part. Feel free to used it for your designs.

If you need anything else, please let us know.
