Part Audit Review
Review all available part information (MPN, package, pin count, description, properties). If no datasheet URL is already set, search the web for the official datasheet and update the part's Datasheet property with the URL. Then cross-check the schematic symbol, footprint, and pin descriptions against the datasheet. Summarize key specs and flag any mismatches.
Thought for 6 sec
I’ll audit the part metadata, locate the official manufacturer datasheet if needed, update the Datasheet property, then compare the symbol, footprint, and pins against the source.

- Datasheet URL currently stored on the part: https://www.phoenixcontact.com/en-us/products/printed-circuit-board-terminal-mkds-10-hv-5-zb-1016-1709717?type=pdf
- Ten physical terminals are provided, matching the ten solder pins.
- Terminal numbering 1–10 maps one-to-one to footprint pad numbers 1–10.
- Connector-style designator prefix
Jis suitable.
Audit complete. The existing Datasheet URL is already the official Phoenix Contact source, so no update was needed; the footprint geometry largely matches, but the schematic incorrectly exposes 10 undescribed independent pins instead of clearly representing 5 potentials with two pins each. Metadata issues and full specifications are documented in Part Audit Report, and I filed an internal part-quality report.

| Designator prefix | J | Appropriate for a connector/terminal block |
| Part Type | Empty at parent/library level; terminal sub-elements show “Terminal” | Incomplete metadata |

Schematic Symbol Cross-Check
Matches
- Ten physical terminals are provided, matching the ten solder pins.
- Terminal numbering 1–10 maps one-to-one to footprint pad numbers 1–10.
- Connector-style designator prefix
Jis suitable.
Mismatches / Risks
- The five internal potentials are not clearly represented. The manufacturer specifies two solder pins per potential. The symbol exposes ten terminals with no pin descriptions or explicit pair/common grouping. This can allow the two pins of one physical pole to be treated as unrelated nets, which is electrically misleading and may create invalid net assignments.
- Pin descriptions are missing. Every terminal currently has an unspecified pin type and no useful description. At minimum, descriptions should identify each physical pole and its paired solder pin, for example “Pole 1, solder pin A/B.”
- Pin-pair mapping is undocumented. Footprint geometry strongly groups adjacent pad pairs as (1,2), (3,4), (5,6), (7,8), and (9,10), but this should be explicitly confirmed and encoded from the manufacturer’s terminal numbering/CAD convention before changing electrical commoning.
- The symbol presentation is awkward/inconsistent. Pins are represented as separate terminal components rather than one clear five-pole connector symbol. The final two terminals also do not appear symmetrically arranged like the other pairs, reducing readability.
Footprint Cross-Check
Matches
- Ten plated through-hole pads are present.
- Hole diameter is 1.5 mm, matching the manufacturer’s PCB design value.
- Pad pairs are spaced 4.0 mm apart.
- Successive potential groups are spaced at 10.16 mm.
- Alternating groups are staggered in a zigzag arrangement, consistent with pin layout W.
- Overall drawn body is 50.8 mm × 18.7 mm, matching the manufacturer width and depth.
- Pin 1 uses a rectangular pad and the other pads are circular, providing orientation marking.
- A 3D STEP model is attached.
Mismatches / Limitations
- Copper pad diameter cannot be fully validated from the datasheet. The footprint uses 2.25 mm pads around 1.5 mm holes (0.375 mm radial annulus). Phoenix Contact specifies the hole diameter but the reviewed product data does not give a required copper land diameter; manufacturing capability and current/thermal needs must therefore be checked separately.
- Silkscreen/fabrication outline is simplified. It matches the overall width/depth but does not reproduce detailed body features, terminal divisions, or connection-face cues. This is not necessarily a manufacturing error, but orientation clarity could be improved.
- The reference/value text placement overlaps at the same nominal location. The generated footprint contains multiple reference/value text objects centered together; this may create clutter in fabrication/silkscreen output.
- High-current use requires board-level validation. The part’s 76 A rating does not mean a standard PCB pad/trace can carry 76 A. Copper thickness, trace/pour width, thermal rise, terminal-pair current sharing, and solder-joint capacity need separate engineering review.
Pin Mapping Status
Table
| Pads | Likely physical potential | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | Pole 1 | High from geometric pairing, but terminal numbering convention should be confirmed before encoding |
| 3, 4 | Pole 2 | High from geometric pairing, but terminal numbering convention should be confirmed before encoding |
| 5, 6 | Pole 3 | High from geometric pairing, but terminal numbering convention should be confirmed before encoding |
| 7, 8 | Pole 4 | High from geometric pairing, but terminal numbering convention should be confirmed before encoding |
| 9, 10 | Pole 5 | High from geometric pairing, but terminal numbering convention should be confirmed before encoding |
Recommended Corrections
- Populate parent-level metadata: Part Type = PCB Terminal Block; Mount = Through Hole; Package/Case = 5-position, 10.16 mm pitch, zigzag W, 10-pin THT.
- Move “green” from Compliance to a Color property (or remove the misleading Compliance property).
- Complete the truncated description with “number of solder pins: 10 (2 per potential).”
- Add pin descriptions for all ten terminals and define the five paired/common potentials after confirming the manufacturer pin-number convention.
- Redraw/organize the symbol as a single five-pole terminal block, or clearly show each pair of internally common solder pins.
- Review reference/value text and add a clearer pin-1 / connection-face orientation cue.
- For any design approaching the nominal 76 A rating, perform a dedicated current-density and temperature-rise analysis for pads, solder joints, copper planes, and layer stackup.
Overall Assessment
The footprint’s primary drilling geometry, body envelope, pad count, pitch, and zigzag pattern are consistent with the official Phoenix Contact data. The largest issue is the schematic electrical model: ten untyped, undescribed terminals do not communicate that the device has only five electrical potentials with two solder pins per potential. Metadata also contains several incomplete or misleading fields, particularly Mount, Compliance, Part Type, Package, and the truncated description.
