Pin descriptions
- Functional pins: 4 signal contacts (positions 1–4) at 0.5 mm pitch; bottom contact; horizontal insertion; ZIF back-flip actuator.
- Mechanical pads: 2 metal hold-downs/tabs (commonly denoted MP1, MP2).
- Pin 1 orientation: Refer to the 2D Drawing (English) for the exact pin-1 marker and orientation. The product page does not display the mark inline.
- Cross-check: schematic symbol and footprint vs. datasheet What matches
- Pin count: Symbol shows four contacts 1, 2, 3, 4 which matches a 4-position receptacle.
- Mechanical pads: Symbol includes MP1 and MP2, consistent with typical metal hold-down tabs for this series.
- Designator prefix: Set to J, appropriate for connectors.
Items that require verification (potential risks)
- Land pattern geometry: The footprint pad sizes and spacing could not be auto-extracted from the 2D drawing. You should verify pad dimensions, solder mask/paste apertures, and courtyard against “2D Drawing – English” (D166077_en) to ensure manufacturability.
- Pitch confirmation on PCB: The layout API did not expose pad coordinates, so the 0.5 mm center-to-center pitch between contacts 1–4 could not be numerically verified here.
- Pin-1 mark and orientation: Confirm the Pin 1 location on the footprint silkscreen/pin numbering matches the drawing. Incorrect pin-1 orientation is a common cause of assembly issues.
- Keep-out and actuator clearance: Ensure the footprint provides adequate keep-out/clearance for the back-flip actuator mechanism per the drawing so the FPC can insert/remove freely.
- Board edge and component keep-outs: If the design plans to place this at a board edge for cable access, confirm the mechanical outline and insertion path align with the recommended dimensions in the 2D drawing.
If you want, I can verify the pad geometry and pin-1 location against the 2D drawing by measuring your footprint directly and list any specific mismatches to fix.
