TE Part Review


I’ll inspect the part metadata, find and attach the official datasheet if needed, then compare the symbol/footprint/pins against the datasheet and report any mismatches.
I found the existing Datasheet URL pointed to an unrelated TE heat-shrink tubing PDF, so I updated it to the official TE customer drawing for 2438987-1. I’m now verifying pins and footprint geometry against that drawing.

Updated the Datasheet URL to the official TE Connectivity customer drawing and created the full review in Part Review: TE Connectivity 2438987-1.
Open items:
  • Major footprint mismatches flagged: 2.50 mm row spacing vs 3.00 mm datasheet requirement, shell holes shifted 0.50 mm relative to signal datum, and round shell holes instead of specified obround slots.
  • Symbol pinout matches pins 1–9, but pin descriptions and electrical pin types are missing.
Suggested next steps:
  1. Correct the footprint geometry to the TE drawing.
  2. Add pin descriptions/types for all 13 terminals.
  3. Re-check the footprint against the STEP model after edits.
Fix footprint and pins
Correct footprint geometry
Add pin metadata
Check STEP alignment
Run DRC review
