A custom KiCad library for the popular MQ135 Gas Sensor Module, including a schematic symbol, PCB footprint, and an aligned 3D model.
This library was created to make it easy to use the MQ135 module in KiCad projects without having to recreate the footprint or symbol.
- ✅ Custom schematic symbol
- ✅ Custom PCB footprint
- ✅ Integrated 3D STEP model
- ✅ Accurate mounting holes
- ✅ Through-hole header footprint
- ✅ Fabrication (F.Fab) and Silkscreen layers
- ✅ Ready for PCB design in KiCad 9

- KiCad 9
- Windows, Linux, macOS
- Open Preferences → Manage Symbol Libraries
- Add:
Symbols/MQ135_Module.kicad_sym
- Open Preferences → Manage Footprint Libraries
- Add:
Footprints/MQ135_Module.pretty
Ensure the STEP file is located in:
3DModels/MQ135_Module.step
Update the footprint's 3D model path if necessary.
