Audit the current part project PTV09A-4020F-A103 comprehensively. Inspect all available part information: MPN, manufacturer, package, pin/pad count, description, properties, schematic symbol pin numbers/names/descriptions/types, and footprint geometry/pads/holes/layers/3D information where available. Determine whether a Datasheet property URL is already set. If missing, web-search for the official manufacturer datasheet for PTV09A-4020F-A103 (Bourns PTV09 series likely, but verify exact manufacturer and suffix), prefer the direct official manufacturer PDF, and update the part's Datasheet property with that URL. Extract key electrical and mechanical specs from the official datasheet, including resistance, tolerance, taper, power rating, operating angle, shaft/mechanical configuration, terminal mapping, package/mounting style, and recommended PCB geometry. Cross-check symbol, footprint, pin descriptions, metadata, and pad count against the datasheet. Make no geometry corrections unless necessary for the requested Datasheet-property update; instead report every mismatch precisely with datasheet evidence. Done criteria: datasheet property populated if it was absent, and a clear report of inspected metadata, key specs, exact matches/mismatches, and any uncertainty.
Completed the comprehensive audit. The Datasheet URL was already populated, so no mutation was needed; detailed findings—including symbol deficiencies and significant mounting-hole geometry mismatches—are documented in PTV09A-4020F-A103 Part Audit.
The existing uploaded PDF was successfully parsed as the Bourns PTV09 Series datasheet and contains the applicable ordering code, dimensions, PCB layout, taper curves, and specifications.

Symbol matches
Three electrical terminal numbers 1, 2, and 3 agree with the datasheet schematic.
Two additional footprint mounting features are represented, producing the observed five-pad project count.
Symbol mismatches / deficiencies
No actual potentiometer symbol is present. The project uses five isolated generic Terminal objects and has no resistor track/wiper graphic, so the component function and terminal relationship are not visually represented.
Terminal 2 is not identified as the wiper. This is the most important electrical semantic omission.
Pins 1 and 3 are not identified as resistive-element ends.
All five terminal types are Unspecified; electrical pins 1–3 should normally be passive. Mechanical features should be clearly identified as mechanical or non-electrical if the platform model permits.
No pin descriptions, functional names, groups, or sections are populated.
MH1/MH2 use Pin Numbers 4/5, although the Bourns datasheet only defines electrical terminals 1–3. This is acceptable only as a footprint-modeling convention; it should be documented so users do not mistake 4 and 5 for electrical terminals.
Footprint audit
Current imported footprint information
Footprint asset name: PTV09A4020FB103.kicad_mod
Internal module/value text: PTV09A4020FB103
Description: PTV09A-4
Mounting: through-hole, top-side component.
Copper/mask layers: all five pads use *.Cu *.Mask; no paste layers.
Electrical pads:
Pad 1: center (−2.5, 5.6) mm; circular 1.8 mm copper; 1.2 mm drill.
Pad 2: center (0, 5.6) mm; circular 1.8 mm copper; 1.2 mm drill.
Pad 3: center (+2.5, 5.6) mm; circular 1.8 mm copper; 1.2 mm drill.
Mechanical pads:
Pad 4/MH1: center (−4.4, −1.4) mm; circular 4.46 mm copper; 2.9732 mm drill.
Pad 5/MH2: center (+4.4, −1.4) mm; circular 4.46 mm copper; 2.9732 mm drill.
Terminal row spacing: 2.5 mm between adjacent terminals, 5.0 mm between terminals 1 and 3.
Mechanical-feature center spacing: 8.8 mm.
Mechanical-feature row to terminal row: 7.0 mm.
Fab body rectangle: approximately 9.7 × 12.5 mm.
Courtyard rectangle: approximately 15.26 × 15.8 mm.
Silkscreen includes body outline fragments and a pin-1 marker.
Three electrical terminal holes, 1.0 mm +0.2/−0.0, on a 2.5 mm pitch / 5.0 mm total span.
Two larger mounting-feature holes, 2.2 mm +0.2/−0.0.
7.0 mm separation between the terminal row and mounting-feature row.
10.6 mm center-to-center separation between the two mounting features.
Footprint exact matches
Three electrical pads are correctly numbered 1–3.
Electrical terminal centers are on 2.5 mm pitch and 5.0 mm overall span, matching the drawing.
Terminal-to-mounting-feature row spacing is 7.0 mm, matching the drawing.
Electrical-hole diameter of 1.2 mm is at the upper limit of the datasheet recommendation (1.0 to 1.2 mm), so it is dimensionally allowed.
Through-hole copper/mask and absence of paste are appropriate for PC terminals.
PTV09A-4 orientation/category and the 20 mm flat shaft represented by the 3D asset are consistent with the ordering code.
Footprint mismatches / concerns
Footprint asset and internal module are named PTV09A4020FB103, not PTV09A-4020F-A103.B103 would imply a different taper code than the requested A103; geometry may be shared, but the asset metadata is wrong and can cause part-selection confusion.
Mechanical-feature center spacing is 8.8 mm in the footprint versus 10.6 mm in the official recommended PCB layout. This is a 1.8 mm total mismatch and is likely mechanically significant.
Mechanical drill diameter is 2.9732 mm versus the datasheet recommendation of 2.2 mm +0.2/−0.0 (2.2–2.4 mm). The current holes are about 0.573 mm larger than the maximum recommended diameter.
The mechanical features are implemented as large plated copper pads. The datasheet drawing identifies mounting features and gives hole sizes but does not clearly state in the OCR text whether they must be electrically soldered/plated. Their use as numbered electrical pads 4/5 is therefore a modeling assumption and should be confirmed against the physical lug construction or a clearer mechanical drawing.
The imported footprint does not expose an explicit board-lock/non-electrical classification; downstream users may incorrectly connect MH1/MH2 electrically.
The footprint’s body/courtyard outline is not directly identical to a single clearly dimensioned recommended courtyard in the datasheet; Bourns supplies product dimensions rather than an IPC courtyard. No claim of courtyard noncompliance is made.
3D-model audit
3D asset present: PTV09A-4020F-A103.stp.
Model is active, top-side, unit scale 1:1, and rotated 90° about X in the Flux model rule.
Flux generated a GLB preview from the STEP asset.
The asset filename matches the exact requested MPN, unlike the footprint asset filename.
No authoritative automated dimensional comparison between the STEP solid and datasheet drawing was available. Presence, naming, scale, and transform were verified; exact shaft/body dimensions remain an uncertainty without a measured 3D bounding-box/section inspection.
Description and metadata cross-check
The current project description correctly states Bourns, 10 kΩ, logarithmic/audio taper, ±20%, 50 mW, 280° rotation, 6 mm flat 20 mm shaft, single gang, no switch, carbon element, and through-hole mounting. Two wording cautions:
“Snap-in mounting with PC pins and board locks” is plausible from the mechanical features but is not explicitly stated in the extracted textual specification; the drawing is the stronger evidence.
“Industrial equipment” is an application description, not an industrial temperature rating. The official operating range is only −10 °C to +50 °C.
Final disposition
Datasheet property: Already populated; no mutation made.
Symbol: Electrically incomplete in semantics and graphical representation; pin 2 is not marked as wiper and all pins lack names/descriptions/types.
Footprint: Electrical terminal pitch and row spacing match, but mechanical-hole spacing and drill diameter do not match the official recommended PCB layout. Asset naming also contains the wrong taper letter (B103).
Pad count: Five project pads = three electrical terminals plus two mounting features; the datasheet electrical device has only three circuit terminals.
Geometry changes: None made, as requested.
