Part Audit and Datasheet Update

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 audit this connector part end-to-end: gather existing MPN/package/pins/properties/assets, find and set the official datasheet if missing, then compare symbol and footprint details against the datasheet and report any mismatches.

Found the official TE product page and customer drawing; I updated the part with that TE drawing URL and key metadata. Now I’m extracting pin/footprint details for comparison.

Completed the part audit for TE Connectivity 2386586-1. I set the official TE customer drawing as the Datasheet property, filled key metadata, verified the footprint dimensions broadly match the TE drawing, and ran review with no remaining reported issues.
Main flag: TE describes the connector as 8-position, while the Flux symbol/footprint expose 16 terminals/pads; this may be valid for shell/retention pads, but the pin descriptions should be clarified before production use.

Part Audit: TE Connectivity 2386586-1
Scope
Reviewed available project and library information for part project 2386586-1, searched for the official TE source when the Datasheet property was missing, updated project metadata, and compared the symbol/footprint against the TE customer drawing/product data.

Symbol Cross-Check
Project symbol terminals:
  • Signal-style terminals with pin numbers 1-8 are present.
  • Additional terminals 9-16 are present and labeled mostly as SH / SH__n in the schematic data.
  • Terminal pin type is Passive.
Findings:
  • The part description and official TE data describe an 8-position connector, while the Flux symbol contains 16 terminals.
  • Pin descriptions are not populated beyond generic terminal/passive metadata; there are no explicit descriptions distinguishing signal contacts versus shell/shield/anchor pads.
  • The extra terminals 9-16 appear intended for shell/shield/retention/auxiliary solder features, but the official drawing extraction returned conflicting information about total shell/pad count. This should be visually confirmed against the TE drawing before release.
Footprint Cross-Check
Imported KiCad footprint contains 16 SMD pads:
  • Pads 1-8: signal/contact pads, sizes 0.56 x 0.53 mm and 0.23 x 0.53 mm at y = +/-1.185 mm.
  • Pads 9,10,15,16: larger side/anchor pads, size 1.16 x 0.53 mm.
  • Pads 11-14: smaller side pads, size 0.29 x 0.58 mm.
  • Fab outline: approximately 5.0 mm x 2.62 mm.
  • Courtyard: approximately 5.5 mm x 3.4 mm.
  • Pin 1 marker is present.
TE drawing/product data extracted:
  • Body length: ~4.90 mm
  • Body width: ~2.60 mm
  • Recommended PCB layout width: 4.92 mm
  • Recommended layout vertical extent: 2.90 mm
  • Pad/opening dimensions include 0.56 mm, 0.29 mm, and 0.23 mm features.
Findings:
  • Footprint pad dimensions and body outline broadly match the TE drawing dimensions found: 0.56/0.29/0.23 mm pad-feature widths and ~4.9 mm x ~2.6 mm body.
  • The footprint’s 16-pad numbering does not cleanly align with the product’s 8-position description. The shape suggests 8 electrical contacts plus additional shell/retention solder pads, but the TE text extraction did not conclusively confirm 8 additional numbered shell pads.
Properties Updated
Updated project-level properties:
  • Datasheet: official TE customer drawing URL
  • Part Type: PCB Mount Receptacle / Board-to-Board Connector
  • Manufacturer Name: TE Connectivity
  • Manufacturer Part Number: 2386586-1
  • Package: Surface Mount, vertical board-to-board receptacle, tape & reel
  • Operating Temperature: -40 to 85 °C
  • Operating Voltage: 60 VDC
Note: Flux warned that several part-project metadata fields are non-standard project property names, but the properties were set for audit completeness.
Review Result
After metadata update, targeted component review checks for missing MPN/manufacturer/datasheet/part type/terminal pin numbering returned no reported issues.
Mismatches / Risks to Flag
  1. Pin/terminal count ambiguity: TE describes 8 positions; the Flux symbol and footprint expose 16 terminals/pads. This may be correct if pads 9-16 are shell/retention solder features, but it is not clearly documented in the symbol pin descriptions.
  2. Pin descriptions missing: terminals should be annotated as signal contacts 1-8 and shell/shield/retention pads 9-16 if those extra pads are intentional.
  3. Datasheet extraction conflict: the TE customer drawing extraction reported 8 signal contacts + 2 shell terminals in one query, while the imported footprint has 16 pads. Visual inspection of the official drawing is recommended before approving the part.
  4. Part type metadata was missing before this audit and has now been added.
Recommendation
Before using this part in production, visually inspect the TE customer drawing pad numbering and confirm whether pads 9-16 are all required solder/shield/retention terminals. If confirmed, update the terminal descriptions for pins 9-16 accordingly; if not confirmed, replace or correct the footprint/symbol terminal mapping.
