Part Metadata Audit and Verification

flux

To share this component publicly in Flux:
  1. Open the component project:
    FCR684208R
  2. Make sure the part is complete:
    • MPN set: FCR684208R
    • Manufacturer set
    • Datasheet URL set
    • Symbol pins correct
    • Footprint attached
    • 3D model attached, if available
    • Part review checks are clean
  3. In the project, open the Share / Publish controls.
  4. Change visibility from Private to Public.
  5. Publish/save the project.
  6. After it is public, it should become usable from the Library tab as a reusable component. If it does not appear immediately, give indexing a little time, then search by:
    • FCR684208R
    • Cliff
    • TOSLINK
    • ORJ-8
Important: only public component/part projects with valid metadata, symbol, and footprint are useful in the Library search. This one is now mostly ready; the key checks I would confirm before publishing are that the footprint is correct and the datasheet/MPN/manufacturer fields are all present.

Part Audit — FCR684208R
Scope
Reviewed the current part project metadata, symbol terminals, footprint records, and official datasheet linkage for Cliff Electronic Components FCR684208R (ORJ-8 optical receiver jack).
Existing project metadata found
  • Project name: FCR684208R mrE4
  • Manufacturer Part Number: FCR684208R
  • Datasheet URL: https://www.cliffuk.co.uk/products/optical/FCR684208R.pdf
  • Designator Prefix: J
  • Assets present:
    • FCR684208R.kicad_mod (footprint)
    • FCR684208R.step (3D model)
    • FCR684208R_1_1 Symbol.svg (symbol/thumbnail)
Missing/incomplete metadata in project
Review checks report these missing project properties:
  • Manufacturer Name not set
  • Part Type not set
No explicit project-level package property was found.
Datasheet cross-check
Device identity
  • Manufacturer: Cliff Electronic Components Ltd.
  • Device number / package family: ORJ-8 optical receiver jack
  • Function: TOSLINK / fiber-optic digital audio receiver, converts optical input to TTL-compatible electrical output
Key specs from datasheet
  • Operating voltage: 2.7 V to 5.5 V
  • Absolute max supply voltage: 5.5 V
  • Operating temperature: -20 C to 70 C
  • Storage temperature: -30 C to 80 C
  • Max transfer speed: 16 Mbps
  • Peak detect wavelength: 650 nm
  • Current consumption: 6 mA typ, 10 mA max
  • Output levels: VOH >= 2.4 V, VOL Pin Number 1
  • GND -> Pin Number 2
  • VCC -> Pin Number 3
Result
  • Pin names and pin numbers match the datasheet.
Symbol metadata comparison
What matches
  • Pin count is 3, matching the datasheet.
  • Terminal naming/order matches the datasheet pinout.
Mismatches / concerns
  • All three symbol terminals are currently typed as Passive.
    • Recommended logical types would be:
      • VCC: Power Input
      • GND: Ground / Power Return
      • VOUT: Output
    • This does not change pin numbering, but it weakens ERC quality and semantic correctness.
  • No explicit pin descriptions are present beyond the pin names and numbers.
    • Suggested descriptions:
      • VOUT: TTL-compatible electrical data output
      • GND: Ground reference
      • VCC: Supply input (2.7 V to 5.5 V)
Footprint comparison
What could be verified
  • The footprint records expose 3 electrical pads named:
    • VOUT
    • GND
    • VCC
  • These map correctly to datasheet pins 1/2/3.
Limitations
  • The available project-indexed footprint data did not expose numeric pad geometry, drill sizes, or XY coordinates.
  • Because of that, I could confirm pad count and naming, but not fully verify pad/hole dimensions against the datasheet mechanical drawing from the indexed data alone.
Observations
  • No indexed evidence of dedicated mounting holes was returned, although the layout tree does show additional unnamed pad objects under a Mounts container. Those appear to be mechanical footprint features, but their dimensions and plating attributes were not accessible through the available readout.
Summary of findings
Correct
  • Official datasheet URL is already set and points to the manufacturer PDF.
  • MPN matches the datasheet.
  • Pin count matches the datasheet.
  • Symbol and footprint pad naming/order match datasheet pinout: 1=VOUT, 2=GND, 3=VCC.
Incomplete or mismatched
  1. Manufacturer Name project property is missing.
  2. Part Type project property is missing.
  3. Symbol pin electrical types are all set to Passive instead of power/output semantics.
  4. Pin descriptions are missing.
  5. Exact footprint geometry could not be fully validated from the exposed project/index data, only pad naming/count.
  1. Add project property Manufacturer Name = Cliff Electronic Components Ltd.
  2. Add project property Part Type = Optical Receiver / TOSLINK Receiver Jack
  3. Update terminal pin types to reflect actual function.
  4. Add per-pin descriptions.
  5. If a full mechanical verification is needed, inspect or re-import the raw footprint geometry directly from the .kicad_mod file and compare it to the datasheet's PCB layout drawing.
