Sales drawing referenceSD-73415-100 / SD-73415-100-001
Datasheet footprint / mechanical data extracted
From the datasheet/sales-drawing information available through Molex/OCR extraction:
  • Recommended PCB layout uses 5 holes: one center contact plus four body/shell legs.
  • Recommended hole diameter: Ø0.84 mm +0.13 / -0.00 mm.
  • Hole arrangement: center at origin, four surrounding holes at ±1.27 mm X and ±1.27 mm Y.
  • Outer-hole pitch: 2.54 mm horizontally and vertically.
  • Center terminal diameter: Ø0.71 ±0.05 mm.
  • Four square body terminals: 0.50 ±0.08 mm square.
Current schematic symbol check
Observed schematic implementation consists of five Terminal components:

Schematic terminalProject properties observedExpected function from connector construction
1Pin Number 1, Pin Type UnspecifiedCenter contact / RF signal
2Pin Number 2, Pin Type UnspecifiedShield/body/ground leg
3Pin Number 3, Pin Type UnspecifiedShield/body/ground leg
4Pin Number 4, Pin Type UnspecifiedShield/body/ground leg
5Pin Number 5, Pin Type UnspecifiedShield/body/ground leg
Symbol findings
  • Pin count matches the footprint pad count: 5.
  • The datasheet/sales drawing does not appear to publish a numbered pin table; functional assignment is implied by coax connector construction and terminal geometry.
  • Terminal 1 aligns with the center pad in the footprint and should be described as RF signal / center conductor.
  • Terminals 2-5 align with the four surrounding body legs and should be described as shield/ground/mechanical body connections.
  • Mismatch / quality issue: all terminal Pin Type values are currently Unspecified; pin descriptions are absent.

Footprint findings
  • Pad count matches expected 5 holes.
  • Pad arrangement matches the recommended 1.27 mm center-to-leg spacing and 2.54 mm outer-hole pitch.
  • Drill diameter is 0.97 mm, which equals the maximum value of the recommended hole range if interpreting Ø0.84 +0.13/-0.00 mm as a finished hole range. This is likely mechanically acceptable but should be confirmed against the intended fabrication drill/tolerance model.
  • Pad diameter is 1.509 mm, giving about 0.2695 mm annular ring per side with a 0.97 mm drill. No datasheet pad diameter was found in the extracted text to directly compare.
  • Footprint has no explicit pin-1/RF-vs-shield labeling in the visible silkscreen beyond geometry.
Mismatches / flags
  1. Missing pin descriptions and electrical types: schematic terminals are all Unspecified and do not identify pad 1 as RF signal or pads 2-5 as shield/ground/body.
  2. MPN formatting difference: project MPN is 0734151001; Molex official page primarily reports 734151001 with aliases/keywords 73415-1001 and 0734151001. This is not necessarily wrong, but 73415-1001 or 734151001 is the clearer Molex ordering identifier.
  3. Part Type pluralization: project property is Connectors; standard property value is commonly Connector. This is a metadata consistency issue, not an electrical mismatch.
  4. Recommended PCB thickness discrepancy in source data: current Molex page reports 2.79 mm while older/generated datasheet extraction reports 2.40 mm. Confirm latest sales drawing if PCB thickness is critical.
  5. Footprint drill choice at tolerance max: current drill 0.97 mm corresponds to the upper end of Ø0.84 +0.13/-0.00 mm. If the intended nominal finished hole should be 0.84 mm, this footprint is oversized; if the layout uses max finished hole for manufacturability, it is within the stated range.
  • Add pin descriptions/types:
    • Pin 1: RF signal / center conductor, type Signal or Passive.
    • Pins 2-5: Shield / ground / body solder leg, type Ground or Passive depending on Flux connector-symbol convention.
  • Consider normalizing MPN to 73415-1001 or adding an alias note while keeping 0734151001 if that is the project naming convention.
  • Consider changing Part Type from Connectors to Connector for consistency.
  • If this part will be used in controlled RF layouts, add metadata indicating 50 ohm RF center conductor and shield pins, and verify the pad/drill choice with the latest Molex sales drawing/fabrication requirements.
