Part Review and Datasheet Update

flux

I reviewed the part against the official Samtec datasheet using the datasheet as the source of truth for pin count and metadata, which is the right way to audit a part project like this
What I updated
  • I found that the project did not have a clearly populated Datasheet URL property.
  • I updated it to the official Samtec PDF:
https://suddendocs.samtec.com/catalog_english/mle_sm.pdf

CheckResult
Terminal countPass - 24 terminals present
NumberingPass - terminals 01 through 24 are present
Pin typePass - all terminals are marked Passive, which is appropriate for a connector
Pin descriptionsFlag - no pin descriptions are populated in searchable terminal properties
Interpretation
  • For this connector, the datasheet does not provide unique functional names per contact, only numeric positions.
  • So the absence of rich per-pin descriptions is not a hard mismatch.
  • If you want, I can still add simple descriptions like Contact 1, Contact 2, etc. for completeness.
Footprint cross-check

Table

CheckResult
Pad countPass - 24 pads present
Pad numberingPass - pads 01 to 24 present
Symbol-to-footprint count consistencyPass
PitchAppears consistent with datasheet expectations
Dual-row formatAppears consistent
Alignment pin featureNeeds manual confirmation
Important footprint note
The suffix -A means the part includes an alignment pin. The current footprint asset and layout do not show enough indexed mechanical detail for me to definitively confirm that the alignment-pin feature is implemented correctly. So:
  • No obvious pad-number mismatch
  • No obvious symbol/footprint mismatch
  • But the alignment-pin mechanical feature remains the main item to verify manually
Description review
Current description:
  • 24 Position Receptacle Connector 0.039" (1.00mm) Surface Mount Gold ...
This is broadly correct. If you want it tightened up for library quality, a clearer version would be:
  • 24-position dual-row vertical SMT receptacle connector, 1.00 mm pitch, gold-plated contacts, alignment pin
Mismatches / flags Confirmed issues

ItemSeverityNote
Missing Datasheet URLFixedNow updated to official Samtec PDF
Pin descriptions not populatedLowNot strictly wrong for this connector, but incomplete metadata
Alignment pin implementation not fully verifiedMedium-A option requires alignment pin feature; searchable PCB data was insufficient to prove it
No mismatch found
  • MPN matches
  • Manufacturer matches
  • Designator prefix is appropriate
  • Symbol pin count matches datasheet
  • Footprint pad count matches symbol
  • Pin numbering appears consistent
Recommended next step
If you want, I can do one more cleanup pass and:
  • add a better library-style description,
  • add missing project properties like package/case wording and key specs,
  • and populate simple pin descriptions for all 24 contacts.
Populate missing metadata
