Pin descriptions
The available PDF content did not expose a contact-name table for the 6 circuits.
So from the available scan, I could confirm count, but not the functional names of C1 through C6.
Package dimensions
The available PDF content did not expose the full mechanical dimension drawing in retrievable text form.
So I could confirm:
  • Right-angle, top-mount USB Type-C receptacle
  • 0.50 mm pitch
  • Recommended PCB thickness 0.80 mm
But I could not retrieve full body width/height/depth or an official text-extracted land pattern table from that PDF.

4) Cross-check: symbol and footprint vs datasheet

What matches

CheckResult
6 loaded circuits in datasheet vs 6 signal/contact pads in footprintMatches
Shielded connector in datasheet vs 4 shell/mechanical plated anchor pads in footprintMatches
PCB locator in datasheet vs 2 NPTH locator holes in footprintMatches
Surface-mount right-angle top-mount style vs footprint structureConsistent
Presence of STEP modelGood for mechanical review
Issues / risks flagged 1. Symbol pin names are not functional
All symbol pins are generic: C1 to C6, plus MP1 to MP4.
Risk: high for design misuse.
For a USB Type-C connector, generic names make it easy to miswire VBUS, CC, D+, D-, or SBU-equivalent contacts if this part gets reused in a design. That can cause:
  • incorrect schematic connectivity
  • wrong board behavior
  • possible board failure depending on how the port is used
2. Pin electrical types are all Unspecified
Every schematic terminal is currently typed as Unspecified.
Risk: medium.
This weakens ERC quality and makes it harder to catch misuse of power, shield, and signal contacts.
3. Datasheet scan could not confirm contact-to-pad naming
The available PDF did not expose the contact-name table in retrievable text, so I could not prove that:
  • C1 through C6 map to the correct Type-C contact functions in the exact correct order.
Risk: high until verified against the official sales drawing.
This is the main unresolved manufacturing/ordering risk.
4. Footprint includes NPTH locator holes not represented in symbol
The footprint contains MP5 and MP6 as NPTH locator holes, while the schematic exposes only 10 copper-connected terminals.
Assessment: acceptable.
This is normal if the locator holes are purely mechanical and non-electrical.
5. PCB thickness dependency
The datasheet states recommended PCB thickness is 0.80 mm.
Risk: medium.
If this part is used on thicker boards without confirming compatibility, mechanical fit and connector retention may be affected.
Bottom line

Status

AreaVerdict
Basic metadata completenessGood
Datasheet presenceGood
Footprint structure vs connector styleLooks consistent
Symbol quality for reusable partNot adequate yet
Manufacturing riskModerate
Functional pin-mapping confidenceNot fully verified
Most important correction before using this part broadly
  • Rename C1 to C6 to their actual USB contact names from the official sales drawing
  • Assign proper pin types to all contacts and shield tabs
  • Verify the exact contact order against the official Molex drawing before release
If you want, I can next do a targeted official-drawing verification pass using the Molex source and produce a pin-by-pin mapping table for C1 to C6 and MP1 to MP4.
