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.

Reviewed the part and created a detailed report. Key flags: the existing datasheet URL was already set, but the official Amphenol RF URL is preferable; the symbol/footprint has the expected 5 terminals/pads, but all terminal pin types and pin descriptions are missing/unspecified, and the description/properties are too generic.

Part Review — FA1-NDRP-PCB-8
Scope
Reviewed the current Flux part project against the available project metadata, schematic terminal elements, footprint pads, assets, and manufacturer information for Amphenol RF FA1-NDRP-PCB-8.
This review follows the part-project datasheet sync rule that the datasheet is the source of truth for pin count and pin numbering, and that terminal count must match the datasheet including shield, NC, or exposed/mechanical terminals where represented.

ProjectFA1-NDRP-PCB-8OK
DescriptionAMPHENOL RF - FA1-NDRP-PCB-8 - RF CONNECTOR, SMB, R/A PLUG, PCBPartially OK, but should ideally describe it as a FAKRA Gen 1 / SMB-style RF connector, right-angle PCB through-hole plug, 50 Ω, D-key.
Manufacturer Part NumberFA1-NDRP-PCB-8OK
Manufacturer NameAmphenolOK; manufacturer is more specifically Amphenol RF.
Part TypeConnectorsOK
MountPCBOK, but more specific value would be PCB through-hole / right-angle.
Designator PrefixJOK for connector.
Datasheet URLhttps://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/18/CFA1-NXRP-PCB-6B-709555.pdfPresent, so I did not update it. The official Amphenol product page/drawing was also found and should be preferred if you want the Datasheet URL to point directly to the manufacturer rather than Mouser.
Package or Case CodeNot setMissing / recommended: FAKRA Gen 1 right-angle PCB through-hole plug or similar.
Operating TemperatureNot setMissing / recommended from manufacturer data: -65°C to +165°C.
Operating VoltageNot setNot set; manufacturer page/drawing did not provide a simple operating voltage field in the information retrieved.
Max CurrentNot setNot set; manufacturer page/drawing did not provide a simple current rating in the information retrieved.
Controlled ImpedanceNot setRecommended for RF connector terminals/nets: 50 Ω context should be captured where applicable.

Datasheet / Drawing Footprint Expectations
The official Amphenol customer drawing information found for the FA1-NxRP-PCB-8 family indicates a 5-hole PCB footprint:

Table

FeatureExpected from drawing
Center RF contact holeØ1.17 mm, tolerance depending drawing revision ±0.05 mm or ±0.07 mm
Shield / mechanical holesFour Ø1.70 mm holes, tolerance depending drawing revision ±0.05 mm or ±0.07 mm
Hole spacing2.54 mm / 5.08 mm grid pattern
Relevant variantD-key / claret violet corresponds to FA1-NDRP-PCB-8; current related part also appears as FA1-NDRP-PCB-8A.
Schematic Symbol / Terminal Audit
The current schematic contains 5 terminal elements:

Table

Terminal designatorPin NumberCurrent Pin TypeCurrent descriptionReview
11UnspecifiedMissingExists, but function/type should be defined. Likely center RF signal contact.
22UnspecifiedMissingExists, but function/type should be defined. Likely shield/ground/mechanical leg.
33UnspecifiedMissingExists, but function/type should be defined. Likely shield/ground/mechanical leg.
44UnspecifiedMissingExists, but function/type should be defined. Likely shield/ground/mechanical leg.
55UnspecifiedMissingExists, but function/type should be defined. Likely shield/ground/mechanical leg or center contact depending imported footprint numbering.
Symbol findings
  • Pin count: The schematic symbol has 5 terminals, matching the 5-hole footprint pattern found in the manufacturer drawing.
  • Pin type mismatch: All terminals are currently Unspecified. For this connector, the RF center contact should not remain unspecified; it should be marked as a signal/passive RF contact. Shield/mechanical legs should be marked as Ground or Passive depending how the manufacturer defines electrical connectivity.
  • Pin description missing: All terminals lack Pin Description. Recommended short descriptions:
    • Center Contact / RF Signal
    • Shield Ground / Shell Ground / Mechanical Shield Leg
  • Terminal labels: The visible terminal labels are numeric (1–5). That is acceptable for pin-number-driven connector symbols, but a more usable part symbol would expose functional labels such as RF and SHIELD/GND while preserving exact pin numbers.
  • Ambiguous mapping: The available drawing information confirms a center contact plus four shield/mechanical holes, but the extracted data did not provide an authoritative pin-number-to-function table. Do not guess the exact mapping without confirming the drawing/KiCad footprint numbering.
Footprint / Layout Audit
Current footprint layout nodes include 5 pads: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Table

PadPosition shown by FluxSize shown by FluxReview
1(0, 0)0.002655 × 0.002655Present. Displayed size likely corresponds to an imported through-hole pad diameter but not enough information was exposed to verify drill size.
2(0.00508, 0)0.002655 × 0.002655Present. Position appears to align with a 5.08 mm grid if unit scaling is interpreted from imported KiCad data.
3(0, -0.00508)0.002655 × 0.002655Present. Position appears to align with a 5.08 mm grid.
4(0.00508, -0.00508)0.002655 × 0.002655Present. Position appears to align with a 5.08 mm grid.
5(0.00254, -0.00254)0.00186 × 0.00186Present at center of the four larger pads. This likely corresponds to the RF center contact pad.
Footprint findings
  • Pad count: 5 pads are present, matching the expected center contact + four shield/mechanical hole pattern.
  • Pad geometry pattern: The positions appear to match the manufacturer’s 2.54 mm / 5.08 mm grid pattern.
  • Likely pad role: Pad 5 is centered between the four larger pads and is smaller, so it likely represents the RF center conductor. Pads 1–4 likely represent the four larger shield/mechanical holes.
  • Potential schematic mismatch: If pad 5 is the RF center conductor, then schematic terminal 5 should be the RF signal contact and terminals 1–4 should be shield/ground/mechanical. The current schematic does not encode this.
  • Drill size not verified: The layout query exposed pad size but not holeSize; therefore I could not confirm whether the actual through-hole drills match Ø1.17 mm for the center contact and Ø1.70 mm for the shield/mechanical holes.

Mismatches / Issues Flagged
  1. Pin types are all unspecified — should be corrected once the exact pin-function mapping is confirmed.
  2. Pin descriptions are missing — add concise descriptions for RF center contact and shield/mechanical legs.
  3. Project package metadata is incomplete — add a package/case description such as FAKRA Gen 1 right-angle PCB through-hole plug.
  4. Manufacturer name could be more specific — Amphenol RF is preferable to Amphenol.
  5. Datasheet URL points to Mouser, not official Amphenol — acceptable because it exists, but if you want the canonical source, update it to the official Amphenol customer drawing/product page.
  6. Footprint drill sizes could not be verified from exposed layout data — pad positions/count look correct, but actual hole sizes need inspection of the footprint asset or detailed pad hole rules.
  7. Potential signal pin numbering ambiguity — layout strongly suggests pad 5 is center RF contact, but the datasheet extraction did not provide a definitive pin number table; verify before changing terminal properties.
If you want me to update the part, I would recommend:
  1. Update project properties:
    • Manufacturer Name: Amphenol RF
    • Package or Case Code: FAKRA Gen 1 right-angle PCB through-hole plug
    • Operating Temperature: -65°C to +165°C
    • Implementation Details: 50 Ω RF connector; preserve controlled-impedance launch and use manufacturer 5-hole footprint pattern.
  2. Update terminal properties after confirming the pad mapping:
    • Pin 5: Pin Type = Passive, Pin Description = RF Center Contact, possibly Controlled Impedance = 50
    • Pins 1–4: Pin Type = Ground or Passive, Pin Description = Shield Ground Leg / Mechanical Shield Leg
  3. Verify drill sizes in the footprint asset:
    • Center contact drill: Ø1.17 mm
    • Four shield/mechanical drills: Ø1.70 mm
  4. Consider switching the Datasheet URL to the official Amphenol drawing URL if canonical source links are preferred.
