Part Data Review and Updates

flux

Review Summary
I reviewed the current part metadata, the official Molex datasheet, the symbol terminals, and the footprint/layout representation.
Datasheet property
  • No web search was needed
  • The project already has Datasheet URL set to the official Molex PDF:
    • https://www.molex.com/pdm_docs/sd/2034560003_sd.pdf
Part information check Current project metadata vs datasheet

Symbol audit What matches

Table

CheckResult
Terminal count699 terminals present
Pin-number populationThe sampled terminals all have Pin Number populated
Pin naming styleUses alphanumeric grid IDs like A11, F65, J34, which matches the datasheet convention
Ground-style labelsGND_xx labels still map to coordinate-based Pin Number values, which is acceptable if intentional
Problems flagged

Table

IssueResult
Pin Type coverageAll sampled terminals are still Pin Type = Unspecified
Pin Description coverageI did not find populated per-pin descriptions in the visible terminal properties
Semantic pin descriptionsThe datasheet does not provide unique functional names for every contact; it mainly provides coordinate IDs and mirroring, so full semantic pin descriptions cannot be derived directly from this datasheet alone
Symbol naming consistencySome designators are coordinate IDs, while others are GND_xx; that is a mixed labeling style
Interpretation
  • The symbol appears structurally complete because the 699-pin count matches the datasheet.
  • The pin identifier scheme is aligned with the datasheet's row/column naming.
  • The main symbol-quality issue is metadata completeness, not missing pins:
    • Pin Type is not classified
    • Pin Description appears missing
    • labeling style is inconsistent between coordinate pins and GND_xx pins
Footprint audit What matches

Table

CheckResult
Footprint asset existsYes, a KiCad footprint asset is present
Layout pad count699 pads
Connector styleBGA/solder-ball style representation is consistent with datasheet
Datasheet pad-field expectationDatasheet calls for 699X pads / mask apertures
Datasheet footprint details to verify against the asset

Table

Datasheet itemValue
Recommended pad diameter0.50 ± 0.05 mm
Solder mask aperture0.60 ± 0.05 mm
Pad styleNon-solder-mask-defined
Orientation anchorPin A3 explicitly identified
Array conventionRows A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L
Limitation
I could confirm:
  • a footprint exists,
  • the PCB representation has 699 pads,
  • and that this is directionally consistent with the datasheet.
I could not fully numerically verify pad diameters, pitch, and exact row/column geometry from the available project-tool output alone, because the current layout response does not expose the per-pad dimensions/coordinates in a usable way.

ImprovementRecommendation
Pin TypeClassify pins at least into Ground vs Unspecified/Passive where justified
Pin DescriptionAdd short descriptions if you have a pin-role source beyond this drawing
Label styleDecide whether all visible labels should be coordinate-based, or whether ground contacts should intentionally stay grouped as GND_xx
Bottom line
  • Datasheet URL: already correct, so no update was needed.
  • Part metadata: mostly right, but package and description wording should be tightened.
  • Symbol: pin count and coordinate naming look structurally correct, but terminal metadata is incomplete.
  • Footprint: 699-pad footprint is present and consistent at a high level, but I could not fully prove pad geometry against the drawing from the available layout output.
If you want, I can now fix the project metadata and terminal properties for this part.
Fix all mismatches
