Part Review and Datasheet Update

I’ll review the part metadata, find and set the official datasheet if needed, then compare symbol pins, footprint/pads, and pin descriptions against the datasheet before summarizing mismatches.
I found an existing Mean Well datasheet property, but the stored productPdf URL returned 404 when scraped; the datasheet index resolves to the official direct PDF at meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/IRM-45/IRM-45-SPEC.PDF. I’m using that official PDF for the cross-check.
Completed the part review and saved the detailed findings in IRM-45-12 Part Review.
Open items:
  • The existing datasheet URL was present but appears fragile/404 via scrape; the official direct PDF is https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/IRM-45/IRM-45-SPEC.PDF.
  • Main mismatch risk: footprint pad positions/sizes appear scaled incorrectly in computed layout rules, and drill diameters weren’t visible for verification.
Suggested next steps:
  1. Update the Datasheet URL to the direct Mean Well PDF.
  2. Fix/verify footprint pad scaling and through-hole drill sizes.
  3. Add explicit pin descriptions for +V, -V, AC/L, and AC/N.

  • Manufacturer Name: Mean Well
  • Manufacturer Part Number: IRM-45-12
  • Description: Mean Well 45.6W Encapsulated Switch Mode Power Supply, 0–3.8A, 12V dc
  • Part Type: Electromechanical Components
  • Designator Prefix: PS
  • Datasheet URL property currently set: https://www.meanwell.com/productPdf.aspx?i=685#1
  • Official PDF resolved/used for review: https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/IRM-45/IRM-45-SPEC.PDF
Note: the existing productPdf.aspx?i=685#1 datasheet URL was already present, so the “set URL if missing” condition did not apply. However, scraping that URL returned HTTP 404 for /productPdf.asp; the datasheet query resolved the official direct Mean Well PDF above.

Observations:
  • The datasheet does not provide numeric pin numbers; it labels pins by function in the bottom-view drawing.
  • Flux-assigned pin numbers 1–4 are therefore local symbol numbering, not manufacturer pin numbers.
  • Pin descriptions are currently mostly implicit via designator names; the terminal components show Pin Type: Unspecified and no explicit Pin Description property.
Footprint cross-check
What matches
  • Footprint silk/body outline appears to represent an 87 mm × 52 mm body, matching the datasheet nominal body size.
  • Four pads exist with labels matching the datasheet terminal labels: +V, -V, AC/L, AC/N.
  • Relative pin positions appear intended to match the datasheet: output pins separated by 5.5 mm, AC pins separated by 6.75 mm, AC side offset by 76 mm horizontally from output side.
Mismatches / risks
  1. Pad size and coordinates appear scaled incorrectly in computed rules.
    The layout tree reports pad positions and sizes as very small mm values:
    • +V: position {x: 0, y: 0}, size {x: 0.0033, y: 0.0033}
    • -V: position {x: 0, y: -0.0055}, size {x: 0.0033, y: 0.0033}
    • AC/N: position {x: 0.076, y: -0.0345}, size {x: 0.0018, y: 0.0018}
    • AC/L: position {x: 0.076, y: -0.04125}, size {x: 0.0018, y: 0.0018}
    These values look like meter-to-millimeter scaling leakage: 0.076 mm likely represents intended 76 mm, 0.0055 mm likely intended 5.5 mm, and pad sizes 0.0033/0.0018 mm likely intended 3.3/1.8 mm. If the tool’s computed rules are authoritative, the pads are effectively microscopic and the footprint is not manufacturable.
  2. AC/output pad holes are not explicitly visible in the inspected rules.
    The datasheet specifies 1 mm diameter AC pins and 2 mm diameter output pins. The footprint needs plated through-holes sized appropriately for those leads, typically with clearance over the lead diameter. The inspected pad rules only exposed overall pad sizes, not drill/hole diameters.
  3. Pin descriptions/types could be improved.
    Current terminal properties have Pin Type: Unspecified; explicit descriptions such as 12 V DC output positive, 12 V DC output negative, AC line input, and AC neutral input would reduce integration mistakes.
  4. Datasheet property URL may be fragile.
    The current URL is a Mean Well productPdf endpoint that returned 404 in web scrape. The official direct PDF URL resolved by the datasheet system is more robust: https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/IRM-45/IRM-45-SPEC.PDF.
  1. Update the part-level Datasheet URL to the direct official PDF URL if possible:
    https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/IRM-45/IRM-45-SPEC.PDF
  2. Correct footprint pad coordinate scale if the computed rule values are truly in mm:
    • +V at (0, 0) reference
    • -V at (0, -5.5 mm) relative to +V, depending on footprint origin convention
    • AC side at x = 76 mm
    • AC/L and AC/N separated by 6.75 mm
  3. Verify/add correct through-hole drill diameters:
    • AC pins: 1 mm lead diameter; choose drill with suitable clearance
    • Output pins: 2 mm lead diameter; choose drill with suitable clearance
  4. Add explicit pin descriptions/types for all four terminals.
