Review all available part information (MPN, package, pin count, description, properties). If no datasheet URL is already set, search the web for the official datasheet and update the part's Datasheet property with the URL. Then cross-check the schematic symbol, footprint, and pin descriptions against the datasheet. Summarize key specs and flag any mismatches.
I’ll review the part metadata, find and set the official datasheet URL if missing, then verify symbol pins, footprint pads, and descriptions against the datasheet.
Completed the part review and set the Datasheet URL to the official I-PEX CABLINE-VS product specification. I created the detailed findings in part-review-i-pex-20455-030e-76.
Open items:
The official 2D drawing was found, but its footprint details were not text-extractable, so exact pad dimensions/orientation still need manual visual verification.
Pin descriptions are generic/missing; pins 1–30 should be labeled Signal Contact and S1–S4 as Shield/Ground Shell.
Suggested next steps:
Add explicit Manufacturer Name = I-PEX.
Add Pin Description properties for all terminals.
Manually verify the footprint against the official 2D drawing PDF.
Mated width formula from catalog: 7.55 + (0.5 × pin count) mm; for 30 positions, 22.55 mm
Voltage rating: 100 V AC/DC per contact pin
Current rating depends on wire gauge and maximum populated contacts:
AWG44: 0.1 A AC/DC per contact, up to 50 contacts
AWG42: 0.24 A AC/DC per contact, up to 50 contacts
AWG40: 0.3 A AC/DC per contact, up to 50 contacts
AWG38: 0.5 A AC/DC per contact, up to 14 contacts
AWG36: 0.8 A AC/DC per contact, up to 10 contacts
AWG34/AWG32: 1.0 A AC/DC per contact, up to 6 contacts
Operating temperature: -40 °C to +85 °C, including temperature rise by current
Operating humidity: 85% max
Insulation resistance: 1000 MΩ min initial; 500 MΩ min after testing
Dielectric withstand: 250 VAC rms for 1 minute between neighboring contacts and between contacts and shell
Signal contact resistance initial max depends on wire gauge: 140 mΩ max AWG32 through 1080 mΩ max AWG44; after testing ΔR 40 mΩ max
Ground shell resistance: 50 mΩ max initial; after testing ΔR 40 mΩ max
Recommended metal mask: 0.12 mm thickness, 100% opening rate
Schematic symbol cross-check
Observed in Flux:
34 terminal components total.
Signal terminals numbered 1 through 30 are present.
Four shield terminals are present with pin numbers S1, S2, S3, and S4.
All terminals are passive pin type.
The schematic has no nets, which is expected for a bare connector part project.
Assessment:
Signal pin count matches the 30-position part number and official CABLINE-VS family data.
The four shield terminals are plausible for the receptacle footprint/model, but the official 2D drawing could not be text-extracted, so S1-S4 naming and shield pad count could not be fully proven from searchable datasheet text.
Pin descriptions are generic/missing: terminal properties include Pin Number and Pin Type, but no explicit Pin Description values such as Signal Contact or Ground Shell/Shield were found.
Footprint cross-check
Observed in Flux layout:
30 numbered pads: 1 through 30.
Four SHIELD pads.
Total pads: 34, matching 30 signal contacts plus 4 shield/mechanical shell pads.
Silkscreen/mechanical outline approximately spans ±11.85 mm wide and ±3.6 mm deep on the viewed footprint; this is broadly consistent with a ~22.55 mm mated-width 30-position connector family plus mechanical/silkscreen clearance.
Pin-1 marker / orientation marker appears near the left side of the footprint.
Assessment:
Pad count is consistent with the expected 30 signal contacts plus shell/shield pads.
The official 2D land-pattern PDF was found but not machine-readable through the web extraction path, so exact pad dimensions, solder mask openings, pad pitch coordinates, and orientation cannot be fully verified from extracted text in this review.
The footprint likely originated from SnapEDA/manufacturer recommendation per project description, but exact dimensional compliance should be confirmed manually against the official 2D drawing image/PDF.
Mismatches / issues flagged
Datasheet URL was initially missing and has now been set to the official I-PEX product specification PDF.
Manufacturer Name property is not explicitly set in project metadata, though I-PEX is present in the description and official source.
Package metadata is broad: Package or Case Code is set to SMD. A more descriptive package/style value such as right-angle SMD CABLINE-VS receptacle would be clearer if the project/property system allows it.
Pin descriptions are missing/generic. Recommended descriptions:
S1-S4 shield pad naming and exact footprint geometry were not fully verifiable from the extracted datasheet text because the official 2D drawing PDF did not return searchable footprint data.
Recommended next actions
Manually open the official 2D drawing PDF and verify exact pad dimensions, pitch, shell pad geometry, courtyard/keepout, and pin-1 orientation.
Add explicit Manufacturer Name = I-PEX and improve package/description metadata if desired.
Add Pin Description properties to terminals: Signal Contact for pins 1-30 and Ground Shell/Shield for S1-S4.
