Looking for "Extract the exact manufacturer part number, manufacturer name, connector description, total pin count, number of rows, pitch, package/series info, current rating, voltage rating if stated, operating temperature if stated, and any summary specs for ADM6-60-01.5-L-4-2-A-TR." in adm6-xxx-xx.x-xxx-4-x-x-xr-mkt.pdf?_gl=1*16nu3ed*_gcl_au*MTQ1NzE2ODkxLjE3MzYzMTIyMjY.*_ga*NDI5NzEwNzA5LjE2ODc1MDk4MDM.*_ga_3KFNZC07WW*MTc0Mzc2OTE3Ny4yOTkuMS4xNzQzNzY5MjI5LjguMC4w
Looking for "For the ADM6 connector family, what is the exact pin numbering scheme, row layout, and dimensional/package information for the 240-position 4-row header variant? Include any mating/footprint dimensions and orientation details relevant to symbol/footprint verification." in adm6-xxx-xx.x-xxx-4-x-x-xr-mkt.pdf?_gl=1*16nu3ed*_gcl_au*MTQ1NzE2ODkxLjE3MzYzMTIyMjY.*_ga*NDI5NzEwNzA5LjE2ODc1MDk4MDM.*_ga_3KFNZC07WW*MTc0Mzc2OTE3Ny4yOTkuMS4xNzQzNzY5MjI5LjguMC4w
Looking for "List any per-contact descriptions or signal naming guidance from the datasheet for ADM6-60-01.5-L-4-2-A-TR, and state whether the pins are simply numbered contacts or have functional pin descriptions beyond contact numbers." in adm6-xxx-xx.x-xxx-4-x-x-xr-mkt.pdf?_gl=1*16nu3ed*_gcl_au*MTQ1NzE2ODkxLjE3MzYzMTIyMjY.*_ga*NDI5NzEwNzA5LjE2ODc1MDk4MDM.*_ga_3KFNZC07WW*MTc0Mzc2OTE3Ny4yOTkuMS4xNzQzNzY5MjI5LjguMC4w
Datasheet URL was already present in the project properties, I did not overwrite it; the existing URL already points to the official Samtec drawing PDF, which is exactly what the part-project sync workflow recommends preserving when correctProject metadata review
| Field | Current project value | Datasheet / source check | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manufacturer Part Number | ADM6-60-01.5-L-4-2-A-TR | Exact match to Samtec drawing | OK |
| Manufacturer Name | Samtec | Datasheet shows SAMTEC, INC. | OK |
| Part Type | Connectors | This is a board-to-board / mezzanine connector | OK |
| Designator Prefix | J | Appropriate for connector parts | OK |
| Datasheet URL | Set | Already points to official Samtec PDF | OK |
| Package or Case Code | TO | Datasheet identifies the ADM6 series / 4-row 0.635 mm connector family, not TO | Mismatch |
| Description | Board to Board & Mezzanine Connectors 0.635mm Pitch High-Density 4-Row Header 240P | Consistent with datasheet family / format | OK |
Key specs pulled from the datasheet
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Samtec |
| MPN | ADM6-60-01.5-L-4-2-A-TR |
| Connector family | ADM6 |
| Type | High-density board-to-board / mezzanine header |
| Total contacts | 240 total |
| Rows | 4 |
| Positions per row | 60 |
| Pitch | 0.635 mm |
| Lead style | 1.5 mm |
| Plating | -L = 10 µin selective gold in contact area, matte tin on tail |
| Termination option | -2 = solder ball alloy option per drawing |
| Alignment feature | -A = alignment pin present |
| Packaging | -TR = tape and reel |
| Materials | LCP insulator, copper alloy contacts |
A..., B..., C..., D...), which matches the datasheet’s row-based contact identification scheme with rows A, B, C, D and numbered positionsMismatches / issues
| Item | Finding | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| Pin numbering format | The datasheet shows numbering like A01 and D01, while the project uses A1, B1, etc. for single-digit positions | Mismatch |
| Pin type metadata | All terminals are currently Pin Type: Unspecified | Warning |
| Pin descriptions | No per-pin descriptions appear to be populated | Warning, but datasheet offers little beyond numbered contacts |
| Symbol side/group metadata | No evidence of richer connector grouping metadata in the current terminals | Minor |
Pin Type: Unspecified state is not necessarily wrong for this connector, because the datasheet does not classify each contact as input/output/power/etc. It does mean the symbol metadata is incomplete from a Flux-library quality standpoint, but not that the contact map conflicts with the datasheet. The part-project sync guidance explicitly says not to guess missing semantic pin types from memory and to use the datasheet as the source of truth-A alignment-pin option in the MPN and the drawing’s explicit -A: ALIGNMENT PIN noteWhat I could verify confidently
| Check | Result |
|---|---|
| Pad count vs datasheet contact count | Matches |
| Row naming consistency | Matches A/B/C/D row scheme |
| Presence of alignment-related features | Looks consistent with -A option |
PIN A01 and PIN D01, plus row labels A B C D; it does not provide functional pin descriptions such as power, data, shield, etc.Recommended corrections
| Priority | Issue | Recommended fix |
|---|---|---|
| High | Package or Case Code = TO is incorrect | Replace with something ADM6-specific / package-family-specific from the Samtec drawing |
| High | Pins A1..A9, B1..B9, C1..C9, D1..D9 are not zero-padded | Rename to A01..A09, B01..B09, C01..C09, D01..D09 if you want exact datasheet-style numbering |
| Medium | All terminal pin types are Unspecified | Acceptable if left as-is, but could be normalized if you want library consistency |
| Medium | Missing short pin descriptions | Add simple numbered-contact descriptions if desired |
| Low | Description could be more crisp | Could be tightened to a function-first format per part-project guidelines |
