Completed the KCDX-5S-N part review and created the full report here: KCDX-5S-N Part Review.
Open items:
  • Datasheet URL was already populated and official, but the stored value is HTTP; HTTPS is preferred.
  • Symbol metadata is incomplete: pins are Unspecified and lack descriptions.
  • Footprint dimensions/drills match the datasheet, but I flagged a possible handedness risk because the Kycon layout is explicitly “Bottom View” and the footprint appears to follow that same pin order.
Suggested next steps:
  1. Verify footprint handedness against the 3D model or a trusted ECAD source before manufacturing.
  2. Update symbol pin types/descriptions and Part Type metadata.
  3. If handedness is confirmed wrong, mirror/fix the footprint pin geometry.
Check and correct as needed: Orientation of the outline diagram relative to the 3D model or trusted ECAD source.
Update symbol pin types/descriptions and part type metadata.
If orientation is confirmed to be incorrect, mirror/correct the geometry of the outline pins.
The footprint is confirmed mirrored relative to the required top/component-side ECAD view: its pad numbering directly copied Kycon’s bottom-view pattern. I’m correcting the four affected signal-pad positions and adding connector-appropriate terminal metadata.
Corrected the KCDX-5S-N part:
  • Mirrored signal-pad assignments to convert Kycon’s bottom-view pattern into the correct PCB top/component-side view: pins 1↔3 and 4↔5.
  • Verified the resulting pad coordinates; pin 2 and both mounting guides remain unchanged.
  • Set all terminals to Passive and added descriptions for signal contacts and mounting tabs.
  • Confirmed the part-level Part Type is already correctly set to Connector.
  • Filed an internal report so the source library footprint can be corrected; current-project overrides are in place and usable.
