Completed the MEM2090 part audit and saved the detailed findings in MEM2090-00-145-00-A Part Review. The existing Datasheet URL was already populated, so I did not change it; I also found the official GCT product page/drawing links for verification.
Open items:
  • No fatal footprint or pin-number mismatch found.
  • Quality issues flagged: description typo “Normaly,” all pin types Unspecified, missing pin descriptions, ambiguous pin 9 COM, and generic shell ground naming.
Suggested next steps:
  1. Update pin descriptions and pin types.
  2. Rename or document pin 9 as the active-low card-detect switch contact.
  3. Rename shell pads 10–15 to SHELL_GND_* / SHIELD_GND_*.
  4. Optionally change the Datasheet URL to the official GCT drawing URL.
Fix and verify part
Fix part metadata
Rename ground pads
Update datasheet URL
Run final review

Footprint Review
The footprint includes 15 SMD pads and a 3D model asset reference.
Signal/contact pads
Pads 1-8 are a single row of 0.80 mm x 1.24 mm pads on 1.10 mm pitch:

Overall footprint pad count, signal pad size, signal pitch, and shell pad distribution are consistent with the datasheet-recommended footprint as extracted. No fatal footprint mismatch was identified.
Mismatches / Quality Issues Flagged
  1. Description typo: Normaly Open should be Normally Open.
  2. Pin types are all Unspecified. This weakens ERC and part self-documentation. Recommended: use connector-appropriate passive/bidirectional/power typing.
  3. Pin descriptions are missing. The datasheet provides clear descriptions for pins 1-8, and pin 9 needs the normally-open card-detect behavior documented.
  4. Pin 9 name COM is ambiguous. It is likely the card-detect switch contact, but users may not know it closes to ground when a card is inserted. Suggested label/description: CARD_DETECT, CD_SW, or keep COM with a pin description: Card-detect switch contact; normally open, shorts to ground when card inserted.
  5. Pins 10-15 are named generic GROUND_n. They appear to be shell/shield/mechanical ground pads. Suggested names/descriptions: SHELL_GND_1 ... SHELL_GND_6 or SHIELD_GND_1 ... SHIELD_GND_6, with descriptions saying they are connector shell/mechanical ground pads usually tied to PCB ground.
  6. Datasheet URL uses a distributor-hosted PDF. It is populated and appears to be the GCT drawing, so no required update was made. For a more source-authoritative part record, consider changing it to the official GCT drawing PDF or storing the official product page/spec URLs as reference links.
Verdict
The part is likely electrically and mechanically usable: MPN/manufacturer match, the 8 SD pins match the datasheet pin assignment, the 15-pad footprint is plausible, and the signal pad geometry matches the recommended 0.80 mm x 1.24 mm pads on 1.10 mm pitch.
The main issues are documentation/quality issues rather than fatal geometry errors: unspecified pin types, missing pin descriptions, ambiguous card-detect naming, generic shell-ground naming, and a description typo. These should be cleaned up before relying on the part as a polished reusable library component.
