SSQ-107-01-G-S Part Audit
Scope and status
- Completed: project properties, symbol terminals, footprint geometry, and available 3D asset inspected.
- Completed: official Samtec product page and family drawings/catalog cross-checked.
- Completed: missing
Datasheet URL populated; no symbol or footprint geometry changed.
- Uncertainty: the STEP asset exists, but exact model body/tail dimensions could not be numerically measured with the available inspection output.
Official sources
Property change
The Datasheet field was blank. I set Datasheet URL to the official Samtec SSQ mechanical/ordering drawing above. Flux subsequently displays this as an internally hosted PDF asset URL, indicating the official PDF was ingested. No valid existing URL was overwritten, and no other property was intentionally changed.
Current project information
- MPN:
SSQ-107-01-G-S — correct.
- Manufacturer:
Samtec — correct (manufacturer’s corporate naming is also commonly shown as Samtec Inc.).
- Designator prefix:
J — appropriate.
- Part Type:
Connector at final verification — appropriate.
- Terminal count: 7.
- Package/footprint asset:
SAMTEC_SSQ-107-01-G-S.kicad_mod.
- 3D asset:
SSQ-107-01-G-S.step, top-side, scale 1, no offset/rotation.
- Current description:
R / Manufacturer Recommendations / Samtec Inc. — not a meaningful product description.
Exact part interpretation and key specifications
Official product title: .100in/2.54mm Socket Strip Receptacle Square Tail, 7 Pin, 1 Row, 20µin Gold/Flash, .104in Tail.
- Family/type: Samtec SSQ Tiger Buy™ socket strip/receptacle.
- Positions: 7.
- Rows: 1 (
-S).
- Pitch: 0.100 in / 2.54 mm.
- Orientation: vertical/straight.
- Termination: through-hole solder tail.
- Contact/tail: 0.025 in / 0.64 mm square; lead style
-01, standard insertion force; tail length 0.104 in / 2.64 mm.
- Plating
-G: 20 µin gold in contact area; 3 µin selective gold on tail, over 50 µin / 1.27 µm nickel.
- Insulator: black liquid crystal polymer for single/double row; UL 94 V-0 documented on drawing.
- Contact material: phosphor bronze.
- Current: 6.3 A per pin for SSQ/TSW with 2 pins powered.
- Voltage: 465 VAC / 655 VDC.
- Operating temperature: −55 °C to +125 °C with gold.
- Insertion depth: 0.145–0.250 in / 3.68–6.35 mm.
- General mating families include TSW, MTSW, MTLW, DW, EW, ZW, TSS, ZSS, TSM, TSSH, HTSS; the exact product page lists additional compatible 0.100-in header/cable families.
Symbol cross-check
The symbol has seven passive terminals numbered and labeled 01 through 07. Count and one-to-one numbering match the exact 7-position connector and footprint pads. Connector contacts are electrically interchangeable/passive, so numeric names are acceptable. Pin descriptions are blank; adding descriptions such as “Socket contact 1” would improve metadata but is not necessary for electrical correctness.
Footprint cross-check
Current footprint:
- 7 through-hole pads in one straight row.
- Pad centers: −7.62, −5.08, −2.54, 0, +2.54, +5.08, +7.62 mm.
- Pitch: 2.54 mm.
- Outside-hole center span: 15.24 mm.
- Drill: 1.02 mm / 0.040 in.
- Copper pad diameter: 1.37 mm; pad 01 rectangular for polarity, pads 02–07 circular.
- Fab body outline: 18.29 × 2.41 mm.
Official drawing/layout:
- Single row, 2.54 mm pitch.
- Recommended hole diameter: 1.02 mm / 0.040 in typical.
- Outside-hole center span:
(positions × 2.54) − 2.54 = 15.24 mm for 7 positions.
- Body length:
(positions × 2.54) + 0.51 = 18.29 mm nominal.
- Body width reference: 2.41 mm.
Result: pad count, numbering, arrangement, pitch, drill, hole span, and body outline match the official drawings. The manufacturer footprint drawing specifies hole diameter but not a required copper land diameter; the library’s 1.37 mm pad leaves about 0.175 mm radial annular ring and is not contradicted by the official drawing.
Mismatches and severity
- Poor/incorrect description — Medium metadata severity, no direct manufacturing impact. The description is
R / Manufacturer Recommendations / Samtec Inc. rather than the actual connector description. This can impair search/BOM clarity but does not alter geometry.
- Pin descriptions absent — Low severity. Numbering and passive types are correct; only descriptive metadata is missing.
- No explicit package/case property visible — Low metadata severity. A valid, correctly named footprint asset is present, so manufacturing geometry is available.
- 3D model dimensional fit not numerically verified — Low/uncertain mechanical-preview risk. The STEP model is attached with neutral transform; no evidence of offset/scale error was found, but bounding dimensions were unavailable.
- Datasheet URL presentation — Informational. Flux displays an internal hosted copy after ingestion rather than the original Samtec URL. The source entered was the official Samtec family drawing.
Usability conclusion
The part is usable for PCB manufacture based on the inspected symbol-to-pad mapping and exact agreement of the critical recommended PCB dimensions. It is not “unusably wrong”; no part-quality escalation is warranted. Metadata cleanup of the description and optional pin descriptions would improve library quality but was outside the requested mutation scope.
