I created the review report and captured the datasheet/spec cross-check there. I’m doing one final metadata sanity check before wrapping up.
Thought for 1 min 4 sec
Completed the RE200B part review and wrote the detailed findings to RE200B Part Review. The pinout and TO-5 footprint geometry match the datasheet; flagged gaps are mostly metadata quality: missing pin descriptions, unspecified pin types, missing package property, and manufacturer normalization.
Open items:
- No current official Nicera-hosted RE200B PDF was found; the existing datasheet URL remains set.
- Suggested metadata cleanup was not applied yet.
Suggested next steps:
- Add
Package or Case Code: TO-5. - Add pin descriptions and electrical pin types.
- Normalize manufacturer metadata to Nicera / Nippon Ceramic.

RE200B Part Review
Date: 2026-07-16
Scope
Reviewed available part information for the published part project
RE200B, including MPN, manufacturer/package metadata, pin count, description, properties, schematic terminals, PCB footprint, and datasheet-derived specifications.Available Part Information
Table
| Field | Current project / library information | Datasheet cross-check |
|---|---|---|
| Part name | RE200B | Matches datasheet title: PIR SENSOR RE 200B |
| Manufacturer Part Number | RE200B | Matches |
| Manufacturer | Project property: Nicera; library indexed manufacturer field: Other; library property: Nicera | Datasheet/source identify Nicera / Nippon Ceramic. The structured manufacturer facet should be normalized from Other to Nicera/Nippon Ceramic if editable. |
| Description | PIR SENSOR RE 200B | Matches: Pyroelectric Passive Infrared Sensor |
| Part type | Sensors | Matches PIR/pyroelectric IR sensor |
| Pin/terminal count | 3 | Matches datasheet pinout: Drain, Source, Ground |
| Designator prefix | U | Reasonable for an active sensor module/device |
| Package | No explicit Package or Case Code project property found; footprint asset describes Nicera TO-5 | Datasheet: TO-5 metal case with hermetic seal |
| Datasheet URL | Project metadata contains a user-uploaded PDF URL. Flux library search also shows an Adafruit CDN mirror of the same RE200B PDF. | Current Nicera website no longer appears to host RE200B directly; it lists newer/current RE200G-family parts. Existing datasheet content matches the RE200B datasheet copy. |

Mismatches / Issues Flagged
- Pin descriptions are missing on the schematic terminals. The terminals are named correctly, but no explicit
Pin Descriptionvalues are present. Recommended descriptions: pin 1Drain, pin 2Source follower output, pin 3Ground. - Pin Type properties are
Unspecifiedfor all three terminals. Suggested types: Drain = Power In/Input or Passive depending Flux convention for this part, Source = Output/Signal, Ground = Ground. - No explicit package property was found. Add
Package or Case Code: TO-5to make the package searchable and BOM-visible. - Structured manufacturer facet is inconsistent. Project/library property says
Nicera, but library search facet showed manufacturer asOther; normalize toNicera / Nippon Ceramicif the field is editable. - Official RE200B datasheet URL could not be confirmed on the current Nicera website. The existing uploaded PDF appears to contain the RE200B datasheet; third-party mirrors exist, and Nicera currently hosts related RE200G-family datasheets instead.
- Electrical properties are sparse. Consider adding operating voltage
3-10 V, operating temperature-20 °C to +70 °C, and role/part details for better search and review quality.
Overall Assessment
The core part definition is usable: MPN, description, 3-pin pinout, terminal numbering, and through-hole TO-5 footprint geometry are consistent with the RE200B datasheet. The main gaps are metadata quality rather than hard pinout/footprint errors: missing package property, missing pin descriptions, unspecified pin electrical types, and manufacturer normalization.
