Datasheet / official source
The Datasheet URL property was added to the part project:
Official Molex references found:
Note: the direct PDF extraction tools errored on the Molex PDFs, so the strongest extracted data source was the official Molex 46007 series chart plus the official drawing URL discovered by web search.

Cross-check results
Schematic symbol
Pass with note.
- The symbol uses four schematic terminals named 1_1, 1_2, 2_1, and 2_2.
- For a 2-circuit Sabre header with two solder tails per circuit, this appears intentional: two physical PCB tails belong to circuit 1 and two physical PCB tails belong to circuit 2.
- Pin type is Passive, which is appropriate for a connector.
Mismatches / improvements:
- Pin descriptions are missing. Add descriptions such as
Circuit 1 solder tail A, Circuit 1 solder tail B, Circuit 2 solder tail A, and Circuit 2 solder tail B or equivalent.
- Consider documenting that 1_1 and 1_2 are the same electrical circuit, and 2_1 and 2_2 are the same electrical circuit. The current part has zero nets because it is a part project, so this may not be represented as connectivity unless the part-authoring workflow supports internal shorted pins / jumper pins.
Footprint
Mostly pass, with one unresolved item.
- The footprint contains four PTH pads, matching the expected two-tail-per-circuit construction implied by the four terminal pins.
- Fabrication text states
PTH D1.78 +/- 0.08, consistent with the visible hole callout.
- The footprint includes a right-angle style body outline and silkscreen/fab geometry.
Mismatches / improvements:
- I could not fully verify every X/Y pad coordinate against the Molex customer drawing because direct PDF extraction failed. The project description includes
13.54 mm, and the official drawing should be used to confirm the full recommended hole pattern.
- The part has no separate footprint asset listed, only layout nodes in the project.
Part properties
Pass on core identity after update.
- MPN and manufacturer match Molex official data.
- Datasheet URL has been added.
Mismatches / improvements:
- The current description is too terse; recommended description:
Molex Sabre 46007 right-angle through-hole header, 7.50 mm pitch, 2 circuits, glow-wire capable, 3.81 mm tails, for 1.60 mm PCB, no board lock.
- Package / mount / connector properties are not explicitly populated in project metadata. Recommended properties if supported by the part schema: Part Type = Connector, Connector Type = Header, Connector Gender = Male, Connector Pitch = 7.50 mm, Connector Positions = 2, Connector Rows = 1, Mount = Through Hole, Orientation = Right Angle, Operating Temperature = -40 to +105 °C.
Flagged mismatches and uncertainties
- Product-page scrape conflict: one scrape of the product page returned Mini-Fit BMI, 10 circuits, 4.20 mm pitch, vertical. This conflicts with the official 46007 series-chart entry for 460071102 and appears to be stale/misparsed page data. The 46007 Sabre 2-circuit right-angle interpretation matches the MPN and project description.
- Missing pin descriptions: terminal-level pin descriptions are not set.
- Full footprint dimension verification incomplete: the drawing URL is official, but PDF extraction failed, so pad coordinate-by-coordinate validation remains manual.
- Datasheet URL was added as a project-level
Datasheet URL property; the property editor reported it as non-standard for project metadata, but it was stored successfully.
