Datasheet Review


Independent check result: mostly consistent, but there are two assumptions worth flagging/confirming: footprint pad orientation/rotation, and whether the footprint coordinate system matches the datasheet “top view” numbering.
What matches the datasheet 1. Metadata
Given metadata appears consistent with the datasheet:
  • MPN: NX2016SA-52MHZ-EXS00A-CS06016
  • Manufacturer: NDK
  • Description: CRYSTAL 52MHZ 8PF SMD
  • Package/body: 2.0 × 1.6 × 0.45 mm
  • 4-terminal SMD crystal
No obvious metadata mismatch.
2. Electrical terminal assignment
Datasheet says:
  • #1, #3: X’tal terminals
  • #2, #4: connected to metal cover, should connect to GND
Flux symbol:

Flux terminalPin numberFunction
CRYSTAL_11X’tal
GND_12Cover / GND
CRYSTAL_23X’tal
GND_24Cover / GND
This matches the datasheet electrically.
3. Pad center spacing
Footprint pads:

Table


PadPosition
1−0.675, +0.525
2+0.675, +0.525
3+0.675, −0.525
4−0.675, −0.525
This gives center spacing:
  • X direction: 0.675 - (-0.675) = 1.35 mm
  • Y direction: 0.525 - (-0.525) = 1.05 mm
That matches the extracted datasheet land pattern center spacing: 1.35 mm × 1.05 mm.
So the pad placement pitch is likely correct.

Things to flag / challenge 1. Pad size and rotation may be ambiguous
You stated KiCad pads are:
size 0.750 × 0.850 rot90
This needs careful interpretation.
If the intended land size from the datasheet is 0.75 mm × 0.85 mm, then the footprint is correct only if the effective copper pad after rotation still matches the intended orientation.
In KiCad, a rectangular pad with size 0.750 x 0.850 and rotation 90° will usually render as an effective pad of approximately:
  • 0.850 mm in X
  • 0.750 mm in Y
rather than:
  • 0.750 mm in X
  • 0.850 mm in Y
Depending on how Flux imported or represents the rotation, this could mean the pad dimensions are swapped relative to the datasheet’s intended land pattern.
This is the main thing I would flag.
Recommended verification:
  • Confirm from the original NDK land pattern drawing which dimension corresponds to horizontal pad width and which corresponds to vertical pad height.
  • For a 2.0 × 1.6 mm package with center spacing 1.35 × 1.05 mm, a likely interpretation is:
    • pad width in X: 0.75 mm
    • pad height in Y: 0.85 mm
If so, then a KiCad pad declared 0.750 x 0.850 rot90 may be wrong unless the rotation is intentionally compensating for a local pad axis convention.
2. Pin/pad orientation depends on coordinate-system interpretation
The datasheet terminal land connections are given in top view. You listed symbol positions as:
  • #1 top-left
  • #2 top-right
  • #3 bottom-right
  • #4 bottom-left
The footprint positions are:
  • #1: −X, +Y
  • #2: +X, +Y
  • #3: +X, −Y
  • #4: −X, −Y
This matches the datasheet if +Y corresponds to “top” in the footprint view.
However, coordinate systems differ:
  • In many PCB/CAD contexts, visual “up” may correspond to positive Y.
  • In KiCad footprint files, coordinates are commonly interpreted in a screen-like or board coordinate context where Y direction can appear inverted depending on viewer/importer.
  • Flux’s rendered SVG uses a scale(1,-1) transform, which can make raw coordinate sign vs visual top/bottom easy to misread.
So I would not blindly conclude the orientation is correct just from the coordinate signs. I would visually confirm the pad numbering marker relative to pad #1 and compare against the datasheet top-view drawing.
That said, if the Flux/footprint display shows pad #1 at the physical top-left, pad #2 top-right, pad #3 bottom-right, and pad #4 bottom-left, then orientation is correct.
3. GND pins are correctly named, but users should understand they are not oscillator electrodes
The GND_1 and GND_2 terminal names are acceptable and useful, but these are not crystal electrodes. They are metal cover/shield connections.
This is not a mismatch, but I would perhaps document it as:
  • Pin 2: cover/shield, connect to GND
  • Pin 4: cover/shield, connect to GND
This avoids someone later thinking the device has two functional ground pins internally connected to the resonator circuit.

Verdict No clear datasheet mismatch found for:
  • MPN
  • manufacturer
  • body size
  • 4-pad package
  • electrical pin assignment
  • pin numbering sequence, assuming the footprint top view is correct
  • pad center spacing
Flag for manual confirmation:
  1. Pad size orientation: 0.750 × 0.850 rot90 may swap the intended land dimensions. Confirm whether final copper is 0.75 × 0.85 in the same orientation as the NDK land pattern.
  2. Top-view orientation: confirm that pad #1 is truly top-left in the rendered footprint relative to the pin-1 marker and datasheet top view.
  3. Shield pins: #2 and #4 should be marked as cover/shield GND, not crystal electrodes. Current naming is probably fine.
If the rendered footprint shows pad #1 top-left and the effective pad copper dimensions match the NDK land pattern, then I would consider the part project correct.

I created the detailed review report in Part Datasheet Review. I’m doing one final verification pass now.
Reviewed the part metadata, existing Datasheet URL, symbol terminals, and footprint against the datasheet; no Datasheet URL update was needed because one was already set. Full details are in Part Datasheet Review.
Open items:
  • No blocking mismatch found.
  • Pin descriptions / pin types are currently missing or unspecified metadata.
  • Pad size values match numerically, but the 90° pad rotation should be visually confirmed before release.
Suggested next steps:
  1. Update terminal pin descriptions for pins 1–4.
  2. Confirm rendered copper pad orientation against the NDK land-pattern drawing.
  3. Optionally verify the suffix-specific 8 pF order-code value from the official order-code table.

Mismatches / flags
  1. No blocking mismatch found for MPN, manufacturer, part type, pin count, symbol terminal assignment, or nominal footprint center spacing.
  2. Pin descriptions are missing/unspecified in the terminal metadata. Suggested descriptions:
    • Pin 1: Crystal terminal
    • Pin 2: Cover/shield, connect to GND
    • Pin 3: Crystal terminal
    • Pin 4: Cover/shield, connect to GND
  3. Pad dimension orientation should be visually confirmed if manufacturing-critical: the footprint declares 0.750 mm x 0.850 mm pads with 90° rotation. The datasheet numeric pad dimensions match, but the final rendered copper orientation should be checked against the NDK land-pattern drawing.
  4. Load capacitance value: project description says 8 pF and datasheet extraction reports 8 pF as a standard value; the suffix-specific value was not independently decoded from the order-code table by OCR. Treat the description as consistent but verify against the official order-code table if this will be used for purchasing controls.
