Table
| Check | Observed | Datasheet expectation | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of electrical terminals | 2 | 2 circuits | Match |
| Pin numbering | 1, 2 | Circuit 1 and last circuit | Match |
| Symbol complexity | Minimal two-terminal symbol | Acceptable for a connector part project | OK |
| Pin descriptions | No descriptive names present | Datasheet does not provide functional names beyond circuit numbering | Acceptable |
| Pin type metadata | Unspecified | Connector contacts generally fine as passive/unspecified in a part project | Acceptable |
- The two schematic terminals, 1 and 2, correctly represent a 2-circuit connector.
- I did not find a datasheet-defined semantic signal naming scheme for the contacts, so the absence of richer pin descriptions is not a datasheet mismatch.
- The terminal pin list in schematic output showed
undefined, which suggests the symbol metadata could be cleaner internally, but it does not indicate a numbering mismatch.
Table
| Check | Footprint observed | Datasheet / drawing | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contact pad count | 2 plated through-holes | 2 circuits | Match |

Table
| Type | Finding | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| Metadata gap | Project properties do not include housing material, terminal material, finish, mating series, or PCB thickness guidance | Low |
| Description verification | Project description says Glow-Wire Capable, but that was not confirmed in the retrieved datasheet excerpts | Medium |
| Symbol metadata quality | Schematic terminal pin list returned undefined instead of richer pin metadata | Low |
Table
| Area | Result |
|---|---|
| MPN consistency | Good |
| Pin count consistency | Good |
| Symbol numbering | Good |
| Footprint geometry vs datasheet | Good |
| Package / mounting style consistency | Good |
| Critical mismatches | None found |
- Keep the existing datasheet URL as-is.
- Consider adding these part properties for completeness:
- Mating series: 43645
- Housing material: LCP, glass-filled, UL94V-0
- Terminal material: Brass alloy
- Finish: Matte tin over nickel
- Recommended PCB thickness: 1.57 mm
- Verify the Glow-Wire Capable claim against a Molex product page or a more specific compliance document, since it was not confirmed in the datasheet snippets I retrieved.
If you want, I can next turn this into a concise pass/fail checklist for part publication quality.
