Part Datasheet Audit

I’ll audit the part metadata, locate the official manufacturer datasheet if needed, update the Datasheet property, then verify the symbol, footprint, and pin definitions against it.
The official Phoenix Contact datasheet URL is already set. I’m now checking the electrical ratings and mechanical drawing against the existing three-pin symbol and 7.62 mm through-hole footprint.

View Document

Reviewed available project/library metadata, the official Phoenix Contact datasheet, schematic terminals, footprint geometry, pad numbering,...
Audit complete. The official Phoenix Contact datasheet was already correctly linked, and the critical footprint geometry matches: 3 pads, 7.62 mm pitch, 1.3 mm drills, correct numbering, and 22.86 × 12.5 mm outline.
Flagged issues include incorrect Mount and Compliance properties, missing part/package metadata, a truncated description, and unspecified pin types/descriptions. Full findings: Part Datasheet Audit.

Key manufacturer specifications
  • Product: alignable 3-position PCB terminal block, MKDS 5 family.
  • Pitch: 7.62 mm; linear single-row pin layout.
  • Nominal current: 32 A.
  • Nominal voltage: 630 V.
  • Rated insulation: 500 V (III/3), 630 V (III/2), 1000 V (II/2); rated surge voltage 6 kV.
  • cULus ratings: use group B 300 V / 30 A; use group D 300 V / 10 A.
  • Nominal conductor cross-section: 4 mm².
  • Rigid conductor range: 0.2–6 mm²; flexible: 0.2–4 mm²; AWG 24–10.
  • Connection: screw connection with tension sleeve; slotted screw; tightening torque 0.5–0.6 N·m; stripping length 8 mm.
  • PCB mounting: through-hole wave soldering; one 0.9 × 0.9 mm solder pin per position; 5.1 mm pin length; recommended PCB hole diameter 1.3 mm.
  • Dimensions: width 22.86 mm, length 12.5 mm, height 26.6 mm, installed height 21.5 mm.
  • Housing: green PA, UL 94 V-0, CTI 600.
  • Operating ambient: −40 °C to +100 °C, subject to current derating.
Schematic symbol cross-check
  • The part contains three separate terminal symbols numbered 1, 2, and 3. This matches the three independent potentials and the footprint pad numbering.
  • There is no manufacturer-defined signal naming because these are electrically equivalent, independent passive terminals; numeric names 1–3 are appropriate.
  • The terminal records show Pin Type: Unspecified, and the pin detail is displayed as undefined. For ERC and library clarity, each should be described as a passive terminal/contact with a short description such as “Terminal position 1”, “Terminal position 2”, and “Terminal position 3”.
  • No swapped or missing terminal numbers were found.

3D modelPresentManufacturer CAD is availableGeometry alignment not fully proven by numeric inspection
The footprint’s primary manufacturing geometry—three pads, 7.62 mm pitch, 1.3 mm holes, and 22.86 × 12.5 mm outline—matches the official drawing.
  1. Mount property is incorrect: change Mount from Screw to Through Hole (or the platform’s canonical THT value). Keep “screw connection with tension sleeve” in a connection-method property or description.
  2. Compliance property is incorrect: Green is a color, not a compliance status. Move it to a Color/Housing Color property. Populate compliance separately only with supported claims such as RoHS/WEEE or approvals.
  3. Part Type is blank: set it to PCB Terminal Block or the closest canonical connector/terminal-block category.
  4. Package metadata is missing: add a package description covering 3 positions, 7.62 mm pitch, through-hole mounting, and body dimensions.
  5. Description is truncated: complete “number of solder pins per potential: 1” and optionally include the 1.3 mm PCB hole requirement.
  6. Pin metadata is incomplete: set all three terminals to passive and add per-position descriptions. Electrical numbering and footprint mapping are otherwise correct.
  7. 3D model alignment remains a visual verification item: the model exists, but this audit did not establish exact body/pin alignment solely from the asset metadata.
Overall assessment
The part is electrically and mechanically usable based on the audited symbol-to-pad mapping and the critical footprint dimensions. The main issues are metadata quality—not pad count, pitch, hole diameter, numbering, or body outline. Correcting the mount, compliance, part type, description, package, and terminal metadata would make the library entry substantially clearer and safer to reuse.
