Part Information Review and Datasheet Update

adrian95

adrian95

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.

Analyzing the PCB layout.

Review complete. I set the part’s Datasheet URL to Samtec’s official ADF6 catalog PDF, confirmed the schematic has the expected 400 terminals for the 4-row × 100-position connector, and flagged the main gaps: missing recommended metadata properties, missing pin descriptions, and footprint geometry items that need manual confirmation against the Samtec print. Full analysis is in the Part Datasheet Review project file.

Part Datasheet Review — ADF6-100-03.5-L-4-2-A-TR
Scope
Reviewed available project metadata, schematic terminal elements, PCB footprint nodes/assets, and official Samtec documentation for the current part project.
Documents consulted
  • Official Samtec ADF6 catalog PDF: https://suddendocs.samtec.com/catalog_english/adf6.pdf
  • Official Samtec ADF6 mechanical print: https://suddendocs.samtec.com/prints/adf6-xxx-xx.x-xxx-4-x-x-xr-mkt.pdf
  • Official Samtec ADM6/ADF6 product specification: https://suddendocs.samtec.com/productspecs/adx6.pdf
Datasheet property
The project did not expose a usable Datasheet URL in the queried project metadata, so I set the project Datasheet URL property to the official Samtec ADF6 catalog PDF:
https://suddendocs.samtec.com/catalog_english/adf6.pdf

Schematic symbol audit
What was found
  • The schematic contains 400 Terminal components.
  • Terminal designators follow the expected A/B/C/D row naming with positions 01–100.
  • Terminal Pin Number properties match the terminal labels, for example A01, B01, C01, D01 through A100, B100, C100, D100.
  • Terminal Pin Type is set to Passive on sampled terminals, which is appropriate for a connector contact.
  • The symbol is split into four sub-symbols:
    • ADF6-100-03.5-L-4-2-A-TR_1_0
    • ADF6-100-03.5-L-4-2-A-TR_2_0
    • ADF6-100-03.5-L-4-2-A-TR_3_0
    • ADF6-100-03.5-L-4-2-A-TR_4_0
Datasheet comparison
  • Datasheet/catalog configuration: 100 positions per row × 4 rows = 400 contacts.
  • Mechanical print shows row labels A, B, C, D and calls out PIN A01 and PIN D01, consistent with the project’s row/position naming.
Symbol mismatches / gaps
  1. Pin count matches — no missing/extra terminal count detected.
  2. Pin names / pin numbers match the row-position convention — no mismatch detected at the naming-pattern level.
  3. Pin descriptions are missing — sampled terminals do not show Pin Description. For connector contacts, recommended description is concise, e.g. Row A contact, Row B contact, etc., or simply Mezzanine contact if per-row descriptions are not needed.
  4. No Section / Pin Group observed — optional for this simple connector, but could be useful for organization: Section = Contacts, Pin Group = Row A / Row B / Row C / Row D.
  5. Sub-symbol grouping is broad — four 100-pin sub-symbols exist. This is usable for a 400-pin connector, though large sheets may benefit from grouping by row or by position ranges depending on how the connector is used.
Footprint audit
What was found
  • The project has a footprint asset: SAMTEC_ADF6-100-03.5-L-4-2-A-TR.kicad_mod.
  • PCB layout inspection found 400 pad nodes plus footprint/container nodes.
  • Pad designators match the schematic terminal naming pattern.
Datasheet/mechanical-print comparison
  • Mechanical print confirms a 4-row pattern with row labels A–D, 0.635 mm pitch, and row/column reference features.
  • The project footprint pad count matches the 400-contact requirement for ADF6-100-03.5-L-4-2-A-TR.
Footprint mismatches / gaps
  1. Pad count matches — no pad-count mismatch detected.
  2. Pad labels match schematic pattern — no naming-pattern mismatch detected.
  3. Geometry not fully verified — the layout data available in this review showed pad nodes but did not expose enough pad geometry detail to fully validate pad size, solder mask, paste, alignment pin holes, or exact row spacing against the Samtec print. A human visual/mechanical check against the Samtec print is still recommended before publishing/fabrication.
  4. Alignment pin geometry needs explicit confirmation — the MPN includes -A, and the print specifies alignment pins. I could not confirm from available layout data whether the footprint contains the required alignment pin holes/features.
  5. Solder-ball termination geometry needs explicit confirmation — the MPN includes termination -2; the print shows the solder-ball option and 0.41 mm typical ball-related detail. The pad count is correct, but the available layout extract did not confirm pad dimensions.
Recommended follow-up edits
These are recommended but were not applied automatically because the user requested review and mismatch flagging, except for setting the Datasheet URL.
  1. Add project property Part Type = Connector.
  2. Add Package or Case Code / package descriptor such as: ADF6 0.635mm 4-row SMD socket, 400-position, 3.5mm lead style, SAC solder ball, alignment pin.
  3. Add Max Current = 1.34 A.
  4. Add Operating Voltage = 155 V and note VAC in implementation details if the property only accepts a numeric voltage.
  5. Add Operating Temperature = -65°C to +125°C using the product specification, or -55°C to +125°C if you prefer the catalog page as the controlling source.
  6. Add implementation details:
    • Lead-free reflow compatible; peak 260°C per J-STD-020.
    • Maximum three reflow passes at 260°C.
    • Recommended stencil thickness 0.127 mm / 0.005 in.
    • Machine placement strongly recommended.
    • Board-to-board standoffs recommended.
  7. Add short Pin Description properties to terminals if library quality requirements expect them.
  8. Manually verify the footprint geometry against the Samtec mechanical print, especially alignment pins and solder-ball land pattern.
Overall result
The part is structurally close: MPN/manufacturer/designator metadata is present, Datasheet URL is now set, schematic terminal count matches the 400-contact datasheet configuration, and the footprint pad count matches the schematic. The main issues are missing metadata properties, missing pin descriptions, and incomplete machine-verifiable footprint geometry confirmation for alignment-pin and solder-ball details.
