What matches
| Check | Result |
|---|---|
| Pin count | Pass - schematic shows 5 terminals, matching 1 CO relay |
| Pin designations | Pass - A1, A2, 11, 12, 14 match datasheet terminal identification |
| Contact form | Pass - symbol represents SPDT / 1 CO correctly |
| Missing footprint review | Pass - no missing-footprint error reported |
Issues / risks flagged
| Severity | Finding | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| High | The project properties say Mount: Socket, but the selected relay ordering code is 40.31, which the datasheet identifies as a relay type. The datasheet separately lists compatible 95 series sockets. | This can cause incorrect part ordering if the project is intended to represent the relay itself but is labeled as socket-mounted rather than identifying the actual socket as a separate part. |
| High | The project description says socketable, but the project contains only the relay terminal representation, not a separately identified socket part. | Manufacturing/BOM risk: a user may order only the relay and miss the required socket, or confuse the relay footprint with a socket footprint. |
| Medium | I could verify terminal identities, but I could not fully verify pad geometry, pitch, hole diameters, or body outline from the available layout output. | There may still be a manufacturing-fit risk if the footprint dimensions do not exactly match the datasheet's copper-side view for 40.31 / 3.5 mm pin pitch. |
| Medium | The project-level part type is Electromechanical Components, while the schematic instances are generic terminal objects. | Library metadata is usable, but symbol semantics are weak; this can reduce confidence in automated checks and part reuse quality. |
