Metadata audit
| Field | In project | Datasheet / source check | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manufacturer Part Number | BM23PF0.8-10DP-0.35V(51) | Matches Hirose catalog entry | ✅ Match |
| Manufacturer Name | Hirose | Datasheet identifies Hirose / Hirose Electric | ✅ Match |
| Designator Prefix | J | Appropriate for a connector | ✅ Match |
| Mount | Surface Mount | Datasheet says Straight SMT | ✅ Match |
| Package or Case Code | TO | Datasheet indicates a 0.35 mm pitch, 0.8 mm stacking height, straight SMT board-to-board / board-to-FPC header | ❌ Mismatch |
| Project description | "Board to Board & Mezzanine Connectors 10P HDR STRGHT SMT HYBRID W/POWER" | Broadly consistent with the datasheet | ✅ Acceptable |
Key specs from the datasheet
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Connector family | BM23PF Series |
| Exact variant | BM23PF0.8-10DP-0.35V(51) |
| Type | Header |
| Contact count | 10 electrical contacts |
| Extra pads | 4 mechanical hold-down / guide pads |
| Total SMT pads in footprint | 14 |
| Pitch | 0.35 mm |
| Stacking height | 0.8 mm |
| Mounting style | Straight SMT |
| Rated current | 5 A on power contacts, 0.3 A on signal contacts |
| Rated voltage | 30 V AC/DC |
| Operating temperature | -55 °C to 85 °C |
| Signal capability | Supports USB 3.1 Gen.2 (10 Gbps) per series datasheet |
Symbol cross-check
| Check | Result |
|---|---|
| Terminal count | 14 terminals present |
| Expected from datasheet | 10 contacts + 4 mechanical pads = 14 total |
| Numbering style | 1-10 plus MP1-MP4 is consistent with the datasheet structure |
| Per-pin descriptions | Datasheet does not provide named signal descriptions for each contact, only numbered contacts plus power-vs-signal classification |
| Current pin metadata | All terminals currently have Pin Type = Unspecified |
Footprint cross-check
| Check | Result |
|---|---|
| Pad count in layout | 14 pads |
| Expected pad count | 14 pads |
| Mechanical pad presence | Present |
| Recommended PCB layout existence | Datasheet provides one for this exact variant |
Pin-description cross-check
| Item | Result |
|---|---|
| Named per-pin functions in datasheet | Not provided |
| Can current terminal labels be verified against names? | No, because the datasheet only gives numbering/classification, not signal names |
| Can power-vs-signal grouping be verified? | Yes |
Verified contact classification
| Contact group | Datasheet classification |
|---|---|
| 1, 10 | Power contacts |
| 2-9 | Signal contacts |
| MP1-MP4 | Mechanical hold-down / guide pads |
Mismatches / issues to flag
| Issue | Severity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Package or Case Code = TO | High | This is incorrect for this connector |
All terminal Pin Type values are Unspecified | Medium | Metadata is incomplete |
| No short pin descriptions on terminals | Low | Datasheet does not give full signal names, but power/signal/mechanical descriptions can still be added |
| Exact footprint geometry not fully verified | Medium | Pad count matches, but dimensional verification needs pad geometry data |
Recommended corrections
| Field / area | Recommended value |
|---|---|
| Package or Case Code | Something like BM23PF 10P Header, 0.35 mm pitch, 0.8 mm stack height |
| Pin Type for contacts 1 and 10 | Mark as power-related |
| Pin Type for contacts 2-9 | Mark as signal/passive |
| Pin description for MP pads | Mark as mechanical hold-down / guide tab |
