Part Review and Datasheet Validation


I reviewed the current part project for 6160.0015 against its SCHURTER datasheet using a datasheet-first part-audit flow, where the datasheet is treated as the source of truth and pin count/terminal count must match exactly
What I found Datasheet URL
  • A Datasheet URL is already set in the project.
  • It points to the official SCHURTER datasheet page: https://www.schurter.com/en/datasheet/2573
  • Because it was already present, no Datasheet property update was needed.
Current project metadata
From the project:
  • Manufacturer Part Number: 6160.0015
  • Manufacturer Name: SCHURTER in project context, while the datasheet names SCHURTER AG
  • Mount: Screw
  • Designator Prefix: J
  • Description: screw-on mounting, M2.5 insert nut, PCB terminal with additional solder terminal, orientation A horizontal
From the datasheet:
  • Exact MPN: 6160.0015
  • Manufacturer: SCHURTER AG
  • Product family: IEC appliance inlet C8
  • Variant: PCB-terminal short (additional solder terminal), horizontal
  • Mounting style: front-side panel mount, screw-on, flange with through holes
  • Electrical poles: 2 terminals, identified as L / N

Schematic symbol cross-check Present in the project
  • The symbol contains exactly 2 terminals, which matches the datasheet terminal count requirement
  • Existing terminals are:
Mismatches / gaps

Pin typeConnector terminalsUnspecified on bothMismatch
Pin descriptionShould reflect line / neutral terminal functionMissingMismatch
Assessment
  • The pin count is correct.
  • The symbol naming is incomplete: the datasheet identifies the two terminals as L and N, but the project uses generic labels 1 and 2.
  • Both 1 and 2 currently have Pin Type = Unspecified, which is weak metadata for a library part.
  • Pin descriptions are missing.
Footprint cross-check Present in the project
The current footprint appears to contain:
  • Pad 1
  • Pad 2
  • silkscreen/fab lines
  • text fields
  • a STEP model asset is present
Mismatches / gaps

ItemDatasheet expectationProject footprintStatus
Electrical pads22OK
Terminal stylePCB short + additional solder terminalNot fully verifiable from current pad-only viewNeeds review
Mechanical mounting holesRequired for screw-on flange styleNot found in indexed footprint dataLikely mismatch
Flange / panel-mount mechanicsRequired by datasheetNot evident in indexed footprint dataLikely incomplete
Assessment
  • Electrically, the 2-pad concept is consistent with the 2-pole inlet.
  • Mechanically, the current footprint looks incomplete for the screw-on flange variant:
    • I did not find the expected mounting holes/mechanical hole features in the indexed layout data.
    • For this variant, that is the biggest concern.
Overall mismatch summary Confirmed good
  • MPN matches: 6160.0015
  • Datasheet URL already exists
  • Designator prefix J is sensible for a connector/inlet
  • Terminal count matches datasheet: 2
Flagged issues
  1. Terminal names do not match datasheet
    • Datasheet expects L / N
    • Project uses 1 / 2
  2. Pin metadata is incomplete
    • 1 and 2 are both Unspecified
    • No pin descriptions are present
  3. Footprint likely missing mechanical mounting features
    • Datasheet indicates screw-on flange mounting with through-hole mechanics
    • Current indexed footprint only shows two electrical pads
  4. Project metadata could be more complete
    • Manufacturer Name could be normalized to SCHURTER AG
    • A more explicit package/type field would help, e.g. connector/inlet family plus mounting variant
    • The description is decent, but could be tightened into a clearer library-style summary
Recommended next fixes
  • Rename 1 and 2 to L and N
  • Add pin descriptions like:
    • Line terminal
    • Neutral terminal
  • Set more appropriate pin metadata for both terminals
  • Review/rebuild the footprint so it includes the mechanical mounting holes/features for the screw-on flange version
  • Optionally normalize metadata such as manufacturer name and part description
If you want, I can make the metadata and terminal-name fixes next, and then we can decide whether to rebuild the footprint for the screw-mount mechanical features.
