Part Datasheet Review

Worked for 10 mins 37 sec

I found the official Amphenol product page plus both the Mini-SAS HD datasheet and the part-specific product drawing; I’m updating the part metadata now and then I’ll validate the 42 terminals against the drawing.

Updated the part’s Datasheet URL to the official Amphenol Mini-SAS HD datasheet and completed the datasheet-backed review in U92L111100170 Part Review.

Open items flagged:

Part is misclassified as an IC/Logic part instead of a connector.
Description’s 24 Gb/s claim conflicts with the U92L selector showing 12 Gb/s.
Pin descriptions are missing.
Footprint coordinates match the drawing, but explicit press-fit drill/hole sizes were not visible in readback and should be verified before manufacturing.

Suggested next steps:

Update connector-specific metadata and remove IC/logic fields.
Add pin descriptions for A1–D9 and SH1–SH6.
Verify or fix the press-fit drill sizes in manufacturing output.

U92L111100170 Part Review

Date: 2026-07-14

Scope

Reviewed the published Flux part U92L111100170 against official Amphenol information: metadata, schematic terminals, footprint pads, and available pin descriptions. The Datasheet URL property was missing at the project level and has been added.

Note: The Flux description says 24 Gb/s, but the Amphenol part-number selector in the official datasheet identifies style L as One Row Cage (12Gb/s) and style M as One Row Cage (24Gb/s). Since this MPN begins with U92L, the 24 Gb/s claim should be verified or changed.

Schematic symbol cross-check

What matches

Symbol has 42 terminal components.
Pin numbers cover all 36 signal/contact labels: A1-A9, B1-B9, C1-C9, D1-D9.
Six shield/cage terminals are present as SH1-SH6 via the Pin Number property.
All terminals are passive, which is appropriate for a connector.

Issues / risks

Pin descriptions are absent. Every terminal reports no explicit Pin Description; the rendered pin entry appears as undefined.
All six shield terminals share the visible designator SHIELD and are only disambiguated by UID plus Pin Number SH1-SH6. This is workable internally but can be confusing in a schematic/BOM review.
The official drawing does not assign application-level signal names to A1-D9; these contacts should remain generic/passive unless the end application assigns lane/sideband functions.

Recommended pin descriptions:

A1-D9: Mini-SAS HD signal/contact press-fit terminal.
SH1-SH6: Cage/shield press-fit terminal.

Footprint cross-check

Contact pattern observed in Flux

36 signal pads use circular pads with computed size about 0.82 mm.
Signal coordinates match the extracted drawing pattern when read in mm: X positions -3.00, -2.25, -1.50, -0.75, 0, 0.75, 1.50, 2.25, 3.00 mm with staggered Y rows at 0.70/0/−0.70, 4.50/3.80/3.10, 8.30/7.60/6.90, and 12.10/11.40/10.70 mm.
Six shield pads are present at approximately (-5.50, 0), (5.50, 0), (-5.50, -13.31), (5.50, -13.31), (-1.50, 13.81), and (3.00, 13.81) mm, matching the drawing callouts.
One unnumbered circular pad/mount is present at approximately (0, -3.70) mm with 2.20 mm size, matching the Ø2.20 mounting/screw hole location.
Fab/silkscreen outline dimensions generally match the drawing body/cage extents.

Official footprint requirements from drawing

Table

Feature	Quantity	Official finished hole	Positional tolerance
Signal/contact press-fit holes	36	Ø0.37 ±0.05 mm	0.05 to datum L
Cage/shield press-fit holes	6	Ø0.57 ±0.05 mm	0.05 to datums L, K, J
Mounting/screw hole	1	Ø2.20 mm	0.05 to datums L, K, J

Issues / risks

The footprint pad coordinates look consistent with the Amphenol drawing.
High-risk manufacturing concern: Flux readback did not show explicit through-hole / press-fit drill data (padHoleType or per-pad holeSize) on the signal, shield, or mounting pads. The system default pad type is SMD with a default 0.7 mm hole, while the official drawing requires finished holes of 0.37 mm, 0.57 mm, and 2.20 mm. If drill data is truly absent from export, the footprint is not manufacturable as a press-fit connector.
Signal copper pad diameter of about 0.82 mm and shield pad diameter of about 1.128 mm may be plausible annular pad sizes, but the critical finished-hole diameters must be explicitly preserved.

Mismatch summary

Part classification mismatch: should be Connector, not Integrated Circuits / Logic / AND.
Package/case mismatch: library metadata TO is incorrect for this press-fit Mini-SAS HD cage/connector assembly.
Speed claim needs correction/verification: current description says 24 Gb/s; U92L style is identified as 12 Gb/s in the official selector, while U92M is 24 Gb/s.
Pin descriptions missing: all terminals lack explicit descriptions.
Footprint drill data risk: coordinate pattern matches, but explicit press-fit hole diameters were not visible in readback; verify Gerber/Excellon export or add pad hole rules before manufacturing.
Shared shield designator ambiguity: multiple shield terminals share SHIELD; pin numbers SH1-SH6 disambiguate them, but individual visible designators would improve readability.

Suggested fixes

Change Part Type to Connector; set connector subtype/properties to Mini-SAS HD, receptacle/cage assembly, press-fit through-hole, 36 signal positions, 4 rows, 1 port.
Remove IC-specific Logic / AND metadata.
Replace package/case TO with a connector-specific package/implementation description.
Add pin descriptions for A1-D9 and SH1-SH6.
Confirm or correct the 24 Gb/s description for U92L111100170.
Verify manufacturing output includes the required finished drill sizes: 36 × Ø0.37 ±0.05 mm, 6 × Ø0.57 ±0.05 mm, and 1 × Ø2.20 mm.
