Part Review and Datasheet Update

Completed the part review for Molex 2242460430 and created the full report in part-review-molex-2242460430. I found and added the official Molex datasheet/detail URL to the terminal Datasheet URL properties; the symbol has 4 passive pins numbered 1–4, matching the 4-circuit part.
Open items:
  • Project-level datasheet metadata still isn’t visible to the datasheet query tool.
  • Pin descriptions are missing.
  • Footprint appears broadly consistent, but exact pad/drill/pin-1 mechanical verification needs the full recommended PCB layout drawing or raw footprint text.
Suggested next steps:
  1. Add structured metadata: pitch, rows, mount, orientation, color, plating, ratings.
  2. Add pin descriptions for circuits 1–4.
  3. Verify the KiCad footprint dimensions against Molex’s recommended PCB layout.
Add pin descriptions for circuits 1 through 4.
I’ll add concise pin descriptions to the four connector terminals as Circuit 1 through Circuit 4, then verify the properties were applied.
Added and verified pin descriptions for all four terminals:
  • Pin 1: Circuit 1 / Contact 1
  • Pin 2: Circuit 2 / Contact 2
  • Pin 3: Circuit 3 / Contact 3
  • Pin 4: Circuit 4 / Contact 4
Open items:
  • None for this request.
Suggested next steps:
  1. Add structured connector metadata like pitch, rows, voltage/current rating, and mount type.
  2. Run the part review checks again to confirm metadata completeness.

Datasheet URL update
No project-level datasheet URL was visible in the inspected project metadata. I added the official Molex datasheet/detail URL to each terminal component’s Datasheet URL property:
Note: the datasheet query tool still reports no project-level datasheet_url / machine_datasheet_url property, so the URL may need to be promoted to the part-project metadata by the platform or manually set where project-level part properties are editable.
Footprint / assets
  • Footprint asset present: CONN04_2242460430_MOL.kicad_mod
  • Layout contains 4 pads plus mechanical/silkscreen geometry.
  • The rendered footprint visually shows a 2-by-2 through-hole header pattern consistent with a 4-circuit dual-row connector.

Cross-check Results
Symbol terminal count
  • Expected: 4 circuits / 4 contacts.
  • Found: 4 terminals with pin numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4.
  • Result: Pass.
Pin numbering
  • Expected: Four numbered contacts for a 4-circuit connector.
  • Found: Pins are numbered 1–4, no duplicates.
  • Result: Pass for count and uniqueness.
  • Caveat: The accessible datasheet/search content did not expose a detailed pin-1 physical numbering diagram, so I could not definitively verify the physical pin-number-to-pad-location mapping from the rendered footprint alone.
Pin descriptions / terminal metadata
  • Expected: Passive connector terminals are acceptable, but useful pin descriptions would identify each terminal as connector contact/circuit 1–4.
  • Found: Pin Type is Passive; no explicit Pin Description fields were present.
  • Result: Minor metadata gap, not an electrical mismatch.
Package / mechanical description
  • Expected: Micro-Fit+ Versa Color vertical through-hole, dual row, 3.00 mm pitch, 4 circuits, shrouded, blue, tray.
  • Found: Project properties only state generic Part Type: Connectors; footprint asset name references 2242460430.
  • Result: Partial. The footprint asset appears specific, but the project lacks richer searchable package/mechanical properties such as pitch, rows, orientation, mount style, and color.
Footprint
  • Expected: 4 through-hole pads in a 2-row 3.00 mm pitch arrangement with shrouded-header mechanical outline, PC tail support, and keyed/polarized geometry.
  • Found: 4 pads and a through-hole header-like outline are present; the footprint asset name is specific to 2242460430.
  • Result: Likely consistent at a high level.
  • Caveat: The current inspection output did not expose exact pad drill, annular ring, plated slot/hole, or coordinate tables, so final mechanical validation against Molex’s recommended PCB layout remains incomplete.
Mismatches / Issues Flagged
  1. Datasheet URL not present at project-level metadata
    The official URL was added to terminal component properties, but the project metadata still does not expose a part-level datasheet URL to the datasheet query tool.
  2. Missing pin descriptions
    Terminals have pin numbers and passive type, but no explicit pin descriptions such as Circuit 1, Circuit 2, etc.
  3. Sparse mechanical/package properties
    The project does not store key part specs as structured properties: 3.00 mm pitch, dual row, through-hole, vertical orientation, shrouded, blue LCP resin, tin plating, 4 circuits.
  4. Footprint not fully mechanically verified
    The visible footprint matches the expected 4-pin dual-row through-hole concept, but exact pad/hole dimensions and pin-1 physical orientation were not conclusively checked because the accessible tool output did not include the full KiCad footprint text or detailed Molex PCB layout drawing.
  5. Color discrepancy between sources
    Molex official series chart says Blue. DigiKey’s attribute extraction reported Black for insulation color. Treat Molex as authoritative; the Flux part should use Blue if color is captured.
  • Add/ensure a true part-level Datasheet URL property: https://www.molex.com/en-us/products/part-detail/2242460430?display=pdf.
  • Add terminal Pin Description fields:
    • Pin 1: Circuit 1 / Contact 1
    • Pin 2: Circuit 2 / Contact 2
    • Pin 3: Circuit 3 / Contact 3
    • Pin 4: Circuit 4 / Contact 4
  • Add structured component/project metadata if supported:
    • Connector Type: Header
    • Connector Gender/Contact Type: Male Pin
    • Connector Pitch: 3.00 mm
    • Connector Positions: 4
    • Connector Rows: 2
    • Mount: Through Hole
    • Orientation: Vertical
    • Contact Finish: Tin
    • Resin Color: Blue
    • Operating Temperature: -40°C to +125°C
    • Voltage Rating: 600 VAC/DC, if using distributor listing as supplemental electrical rating
  • Verify the footprint from the original .kicad_mod or Molex recommended PCB layout drawing for pad drill size, pad coordinates, mechanical keepout/body outline, and pin-1 orientation.
