Phoenix Contact Part Audit
Worked for 17 sec
I’m reading the current part definition and geometry first, then I’ll compare it against the official manufacturer drawing.
Worked for 3 mins 12 sec
The official datasheet URL was already present, so no property edit was needed. I found several metadata/documentation gaps and am doing a final read-back of the symbol and footprint before closing.

Part Audit Report — Phoenix Contact 1718760
Official designation: MKDS 1,5/ 2-5,08 BK Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact
Audit complete. The official Phoenix Contact datasheet URL was already correctly populated, and the footprint’s 2 pads, 5.08 mm pitch, 1.3 mm holes, and body outline match the datasheet.
The major mismatch is the project description: it incorrectly identifies the part as a green, pluggable MSTB header; it is a black, fixed MKDS 1,5 screw terminal block rated 17.5 A / 400 V. Metadata also mislabels PCB mounting as “Screw,” and the symbol lacks passive pin types and descriptions. Full results: Part Audit Report.

Symbol Review
- Two terminals are present and numbered 1 and 2, matching the two physical positions.
- Both terminals use Pin Type: Unspecified.
- No terminal function descriptions are present.
- The numerical terminal naming is acceptable for a non-polarized two-position terminal block, but
Passivepin types and descriptions such as “Terminal position 1” / “Terminal position 2” would be clearer and improve ERC behavior.
Footprint Review
- Two circular plated through-hole pads are present.
- Pad-center spacing is 5.08 mm, matching the datasheet.
- Hole diameter is 1.30 mm, matching the manufacturer PCB drawing.
- Copper pad diameter is 1.95 mm, giving a 0.325 mm radial annular ring. The official drawing specifies the hole and pin section but does not prescribe copper pad diameter, so this is not an evidenced mismatch.
- The body/fabrication outline is 10.16 × 9.8 mm, matching the official width and length.
- The footprint contains model/footprint assets and a courtyard larger than the body.
Mismatches and Gaps
Critical: project description identifies the wrong connector family and specifications
The current project description calls this a pluggable COMBICON MSTB header, says it mates with MSTB 2,5 plugs, describes a green housing, and lists ratings such as 16 A / 320 V and an operating range of −40°C to +105°C. This conflicts with the official part:
- The actual device is a fixed MKDS 1,5 PCB terminal block, not an MSTB pluggable header.
- The housing is black, not green.
- The official headline rating is 17.5 A, 400 V (III/2).
- The wire connection is an integral screw tension-sleeve terminal, not a plug-in mating interface.
This description should be replaced because it can cause incorrect mating, sourcing, and design decisions.
Metadata issues
- Mount =
Screwis misleading. “Screw” describes the conductor connection; PCB mounting is through-hole wave soldering. - Package / case metadata is absent. It should describe a 2-position, 5.08 mm-pitch THT terminal block.
- Dedicated ratings are absent. Current, voltage, pitch, positions, rows, and connector type are primarily embedded in prose rather than structured properties.
- Part Type = Connector is broad but not wrong. A more specific PCB terminal block classification would improve discoverability if supported.
Symbol issues
- Pin descriptions are missing.
- Pin types are
Unspecifiedrather thanPassive.
Footprint caveat
The available official drawing confirms pitch, hole diameter, body dimensions, pin section, and solder-pin length. It does not directly specify copper land diameter, courtyard expansion, or silkscreen clearance, so those details cannot be declared manufacturer-verified from this datasheet alone.
Overall Assessment
The MPN, manufacturer, datasheet URL, terminal count/numbering, pad count, pitch, PCB-hole diameter, and body outline are consistent with the official documentation. The main problem is the incorrect project description, followed by misleading/incomplete metadata and missing symbol pin descriptions/types. No symbol or footprint geometry was changed during this audit.
