molex connectors only go up to 15 #1561

I am looking for the 16 pin molex connector 52746-1671 but can't find it. The CLIK-Mate Series looks similar but only go up to 15 pins.

The part you link is an FFC/FPC connector, click mate is completely different.

We do not have the 52746 series at all in the lib. (Meaning i interpret your thing as a request for making footprints. We do not take such requests which means this is invalid as an issue as far as i am concerned and will be closed for that reason.)

If you are interested to make footprints for this series and want to add it to the lib then i suggest you look into our scripts. With a bit of luck the generic connector script can be directly used or easily adapted for this part: https://github.com/pointhi/kicad-footprint-generator/tree/master/scripts/Connector/Connector_SMD_single_row_plus_mounting_pad (I am not sure if it supports the fact that the clamping part is wider than the main body. So you might need to write a specialized script for this series. For that you would still start with a similar script.)
