Part Information Review and Verification
Worked for 3 mins 33 sec
Completed the part review and created a detailed report: USB4960-00-C Part Verification.
No pin-number/signal mismatches were found. Main flags: terminal pin types/descriptions are incomplete, the datasheet URL is distributor-hosted instead of direct GCT-hosted, and footprint pad geometry could not be fully verified from the exposed layout data.
Fix the terminal pin types and add proper pin descriptions from the datasheet.
Thought for 8 sec
I’ll update each terminal with the datasheet signal description and appropriate electrical pin type, then re-read the schematic to verify the metadata was applied.
Worked for 32 sec
Terminal metadata is updated; I’m verifying the pin types and descriptions now.
Thought for 16 sec
Updated all 20 terminals with datasheet-derived
Pin Type and Pin Description metadata.- GND and shell stakes:
Ground - VBUS pins:
Power In - CC and USB D+/D− pins:
Bi-Directional - SBU pins:
Signal
Verification passed: all terminal descriptions and pin types are now present in the schematic.

USB4960-00-C Part Verification
Scope
Reviewed available part information for the published component project
USB4960-00-C, checked the datasheet reference, and compared the schematic terminals and footprint pad list against the datasheet information available through the project datasheet.Existing Part Metadata

Datasheet URL Check
A datasheet URL was already present, so no property update was required by the user’s instruction. I also found GCT’s official product page and official download endpoints:
- Product page: https://gct.co/connector/usb4960
- Official drawing PDF endpoint: https://gct.co/download?name=USB4960.pdf&type=PDFDrawing
- Official product specification endpoint: https://gct.co/download?name=usb4960-spec.pdf&type=PDFSpecification
The existing Mouser-hosted PDF appears to be the same GCT drawing content for USB4960, but it is not the direct GCT-hosted official endpoint.

Footprint Cross-Check
The PCB layout contains pad nodes matching all 20 schematic terminals: A1, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9, A12, B1, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9, B12, S1-S4, represented by functional designators. It also contains two mechanical mount pads
MH1 and MH2, consistent with through-hole stakes/shell retention features.The searchable layout data confirms pad presence and footprint assets (
USB496000C.kicad_mod, USB4960-00-C.stp) but did not expose per-pad geometry/coordinates. Therefore, I could verify pad count and naming coverage, but not independently validate every pad dimension/location against the recommended PCB layout from the indexed project data.Mismatches / Issues Flagged
- Terminal Pin Type properties are all
Unspecified. This is not a pin-number mismatch, but it is incomplete metadata. Recommended improvements: set GND/SHELL as Power/Ground, VBUS as Power, CC/SBU/D+/D- as passive/signal as appropriate. - No explicit Pin Description property is populated on terminals. The terminal designators carry the signal names and pin numbers are correct, but adding descriptions such as
GND,VBUS,CC1,D+,D-,SBU1, etc. would improve library quality. - Datasheet URL is distributor-hosted rather than direct GCT-hosted. A datasheet URL already exists, so I did not update it. If preferred, replace it with
https://gct.co/download?name=USB4960.pdf&type=PDFDrawingand optionally add the product spec URL as a reference. - Footprint geometry could not be fully verified from exposed layout data. Pad node names/count match, but detailed dimensions/coordinates were not available through the readable project index.
Overall Assessment
The part metadata, pin count, schematic terminal mapping, and footprint pad coverage are broadly consistent with the USB4960-00-C datasheet. No electrical pin-number/signal mismatches were found. The main recommended cleanup is improving terminal metadata and, if desired, changing the datasheet property to the official GCT-hosted drawing URL.
