SHTC3 Pad Repair


Focused library defect repair for BLE climate sensor U2. SHTC3 exposed pad terminal5 is incorrectly named NC/type Not Connected. Datasheet https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sheets/Sensirion%20PDFs/HT_DS_SHTC3_D1.pdf page6 states center pad internally VSS, should be soldered mechanically and may connect PCB GND. Correct pin5 identity to VSS_EP and type Ground without altering sourced footprint geometry. Confirm existing EP solder land present and linked pin5; inspect model if present. Publish repaired version and return UID/version/pin changes. If public part uneditable or tool blocked, report exact failure, do not alter parent design.
I’ll inspect pin 5 and its exposed-pad mapping, correct only the pin identity and electrical type, then publish the repaired part if permitted.
Published repair: part UID 918b2555-0d31-4e3d-b3d2-3e329a539a34, version 17af1ae8-652c-4003-bf7f-f912cfb1dbe5; pin 5 changed from NC / Not Connected to VSS_EP / Ground. Confirmed the linked center copper/mask land (0.7 × 1.6 mm) and paste aperture (0.5 × 1.4 mm) remain unchanged; no live 3D model is present, only a KiCad STEP reference. Parent design untouched; an internal quality ticket was filed for Flux team review.
