Part Review and Datasheet Update
Thought for 4 sec
I’ll inspect the part metadata, find and set an official datasheet URL if missing, then compare symbol/footprint/pins against the datasheet and summarize any mismatches.

I found Nordic’s official nRF9160 Product Specification v2.2 PDF and set it as the part’s Datasheet URL; I’m now checking the symbol and footprint against it.

Part Review: NRF9160-SICA-B1A-R
Date: 2026-07-08 Reviewed available Flux part information for NRF9160-SICA-B1A-R: project metadata, schematic terminal symbol, footprint/pad...
Completed the review and added Nordic’s official nRF9160 Product Specification v2.2 as the Datasheet URL. I created the detailed findings in Part Review: NRF9160-SICA-B1A-R.
Open items flagged:
- Pin 48 is mislabeled
SM_IO; datasheet saysSIM_IO. - Symbol has 161 terminals while the official pin table has 127 pins; extra VSS pads need a deliberate modeling decision.
SIM_1V8is typed as Power In but should be a power output.- Pin descriptions are missing, and footprint land-pattern geometry likely needs verification against Nordic DK/KiCad references.
- Current description appears to overclaim USB 2.0, GLONASS, and Galileo support.
Suggested next steps:
- Fix the pin 48 typo and
SIM_1V8direction. - Add datasheet-backed pin descriptions.
- Decide whether to expose, hide, or gang pads 128–161.
- Rebuild/verify the footprint against Nordic’s recommended/DK land pattern.
