Datasheet Review and Verification

flux

I’ll review the part metadata and existing symbol/footprint, find the official datasheet if missing, update the Datasheet property, then cross-check pins and summarize mismatches.

flux

I found the official Tensility product page and PDF datasheet; I’ll add the datasheet URL and finish the mechanical/pin review now.

Completed the Tensility 54-00248 review and created the report: Part Datasheet Cross-Check: Tensility 54-00248.
Open items:
  • I recorded the official datasheet URL in Implementation Details because the available project-property editor did not expose a dedicated Datasheet URL field.
  • Main issues flagged: missing pin descriptions, sparse part metadata, and a footprint unit-display caution to verify before manufacturing.
Suggested next steps:
  1. Add generic pin descriptions for pins 1–8 and S1.
  2. Populate searchable part metadata like manufacturer, connector type, current/voltage rating, and contact count.
  3. Run/export a manufacturing drill/pad check to confirm the footprint dimensions.

Symbol result
  • Contact count matches the datasheet: 8 signal contacts plus shell/shield.
  • Pin numbering matches the datasheet-level contact numbering: 1 through 8 plus shell.
  • Pin electrical type is acceptable as Passive for a connector.
  • Mismatch / incomplete metadata: individual terminals have no Pin Description text. Datasheet does not provide signal functions, so recommended descriptions are generic contact labels such as M12 A-code contact 1 through M12 A-code contact 8, and Shield / shell for S1.
  • Mismatch / metadata gap: project-level properties do not currently include manufacturer name, connector type, contact count, package/mounting style, voltage/current ratings as part-specific searchable properties except the voltage/temperature entries added during this review.
Footprint cross-check
Current footprint details found
The imported KiCad footprint TENSILITY_54-00248.kicad_mod contains:
  • Signal/contact plated thru-hole pads:
    • Pin 1 at (-1.5, -2.1), 1.4 mm pad, 1.0 mm drill, rectangular.
    • Pin 2 at (1.5, -2.1), 1.4 mm pad, 1.0 mm drill.
    • Pin 3 at (2.725, 0.0), 1.4 mm pad, 1.0 mm drill.
    • Pin 4 at (2.075, 2.1), 1.4 mm pad, 1.0 mm drill.
    • Pin 5 at (0.0, 2.1), 1.4 mm pad, 1.0 mm drill.
    • Pin 6 at (-2.075, 2.1), 1.4 mm pad, 1.0 mm drill.
    • Pin 7 at (-2.725, 0.0), 1.4 mm pad, 1.0 mm drill.
    • Pin 8 at (0.0, 0.0), 1.4 mm pad, 1.0 mm drill.
  • Shell plated thru-hole pad:
    • S1 at (0.0, 4.0), 1.7 mm pad, 1.3 mm drill.
  • Mechanical NPTH board-lock holes:
    • Four unnumbered NPTH holes at (±7.5, 0.0) diameter 2.3 mm and (±7.5, 4.0) diameter 2.8 mm.
  • Footprint outline includes panel edge marking, fab/silk geometry, courtyard, and pin 1 marker.
Footprint result
  • Signal pad count matches the datasheet: 8 × Ø1.0 mm through-holes.
  • Shell pad is present and matches the datasheet concept of a shield/shell connection.
  • Board-lock/mechanical holes are present and match the expected four unconnected mechanical holes.
  • Pad coordinates are consistent with the datasheet dimensions extracted for 2.1 mm vertical spacing, 4.15/5.45 mm horizontal spread references, and 16 mm board-lock spacing.
  • The footprint appears imported in meters internally in the layout tree, but the KiCad asset payload is in millimeters and is the authoritative footprint source in this part.
  • Mismatch / caution: the current layout tree reports computed pad positions such as x: 0.0015 and sizes such as 0.0014 under unit: mm; this appears to be unit-scaled display data from the importer, while the embedded KiCad footprint payload correctly shows mm dimensions. Verify generated manufacturing output before release.
  • Mismatch / caution: the NPTH pads are named None; this is acceptable for unconnected mechanical holes, but if the platform expects unique mechanical pad names, rename them or ensure DRC/export handles them correctly.
  1. Datasheet URL was missing as a dedicated part property.
    • Action taken: recorded official datasheet URL in project Implementation Details because the available project-property mutation interface did not expose a dedicated Datasheet URL property.
    • Recommended follow-up: if Flux exposes the published-part Datasheet URL field in the part editor UI, set it there as https://tensility.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/uploads/pdffiles/54-00248.pdf or the product-page PDF link https://tensility.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/imports/product_spec_sheets/54-00248.pdf.
  2. Pin descriptions are missing.
    • Recommended follow-up: add Pin Description values: pins 1–8 as M12 A-code contact N; S1 as Shield / shell.
  3. Part metadata is sparse.
    • Recommended follow-up: add searchable component/part metadata where supported: Manufacturer Name = Tensility International Corporation; Connector Type = M12 A-code socket; Connector Gender = Socket / female; Connector Positions = 8; Mount = Through Hole / Panel Mount; Package = right-angle panel-mount circular connector; Current Rating = 2 A; Voltage Rating = 30 V; Operating Temperature = -40 to 105 °C; IP rating = IP67 if supported.
  4. Contact resistance extraction ambiguity.
    • The web/PDF extraction returned 10 MΩ or less, which is unusual for contact resistance and likely means 10 mΩ or less. Verify visually against the official PDF before entering that spec as a property.
  5. Footprint unit-display caution.
    • Embedded KiCad footprint dimensions are correct-looking in mm, but Flux layout tree displayed small decimal meter-like values while labeling unit as mm. Exported drill/pad data should be checked before manufacturing.
Overall conclusion
The core symbol and footprint structure match Tensility 54-00248: 8 numbered connector contacts, one shell/shield pad, right-angle through-hole footprint, and board-lock mechanical holes. The main gaps are metadata completeness, missing pin descriptions, and the need to set the official datasheet URL in the dedicated published-part datasheet field if the UI/tooling exposes it.
