Datasheet URL Update
The part project did not show a Datasheet URL in the initial project metadata. I set the part-level Datasheet URL property to the official Samtec SSQ/SSW through-hole catalog PDF:
A follow-up metadata readback confirmed the property is now present.

Cross-Check Results
MPN
Result: Pass.
The project MPN SSQ-119-03-G-S matches the official Samtec part number.
Manufacturer
Result: Pass.
The project lists Samtec Inc.; the official manufacturer is Samtec.
Pin Count / Positions
Result: Pass.
The schematic has 19 terminals and the library reports 19 terminals. This matches 119 as 19 positions per row and -S as single row, for 19 total contacts.
Symbol Pin Numbers
Result: Pass.
Pins are numbered 01 through 19, matching the 19-position connector. There is no functional pin assignment beyond position number for this passive connector.
Pin Type
Result: Acceptable.
All pins are passive terminals, which is appropriate for a passive connector/socket strip.
Pin Descriptions
Result: Missing / quality issue.
Pin descriptions are absent. This is not an electrical pinout error, but a published part quality issue. Recommended descriptions are simple position descriptions such as Socket contact 01, Socket contact 02, ... Socket contact 19.
Footprint Pad Count and Pitch
Result: Pass.
The footprint has 19 through-hole pads in a single row. Pad centers are spaced at 2.54 mm and the total first-to-last span is 45.72 mm, which equals 18 pitch intervals for 19 contacts.
Footprint Drill Size
Result: Pass.
The footprint uses a 1.02 mm drill, matching the Samtec footprint source value of 0.040 in / 1.02 mm typical.
Footprint Body Length / Outline
Result: Pass.
The fab outline length is approximately 48.77 mm, matching the catalog formula 2.54 mm × 19 + 0.51 mm = 48.77 mm.
Pin 1 Marking
Result: Pass.
Pad 01 is rectangular and there is a pin-1 marker near the pad-1 side. This is appropriate for orientation.
Mount / Package
Result: Mixed.
- Mount is correctly listed as through-hole.
- The library
package_case_code value TO is inappropriate for this connector. TO suggests a transistor-outline package family, not a 1x19 through-hole connector/socket strip.
Recommended package descriptor: 1x19 2.54mm through-hole socket strip or SSQ single-row 19-position through-hole connector.
Description Ratings
Result: Mismatch.
The current description says 2.9 A per contact and 550 VAC RMS. The official Samtec SSQ data found for this part/series gives:
- Current rating: 6.3 A per pin for SSQ/TSW, 2 pins powered.
- Voltage rating: 465 VAC / 655 VDC.
The current description should be corrected to avoid publishing non-authoritative or incorrect electrical ratings. The current rating must include the datasheet condition 2 pins powered and should not imply all 19 contacts can carry 6.3 A simultaneously without derating.
Recommended Metadata Corrections
-
Update the description ratings:
- Replace
2.9 A per contact with 6.3 A per pin, 2 pins powered.
- Replace
550 VAC RMS with 465 VAC / 655 VDC.
-
Improve the description with exact ordering-code meaning:
SSQ square-tail socket strip.
- 19 positions, single row.
-03 straight through-hole lead style, A = 10.00 mm.
-G 20 microinch gold on contact, gold flash on tail.
- LCP insulator, phosphor bronze contacts.
- -55 °C to +125 °C with gold.
-
Fix or remove the library package_case_code: TO value if editable.
-
Add pin descriptions for pins 01-19:
Socket contact 01 through Socket contact 19.
Suggested Corrected Description
Samtec SSQ-119-03-G-S SSQ series 19-position single-row 2.54 mm pitch straight through-hole socket strip. Lead style -03 with A = 10.00 mm; -G plating gives 20 microinch gold on contact and gold flash on tail. Black LCP insulator with phosphor bronze contacts. Rated 6.3 A per pin with 2 pins powered, 465 VAC / 655 VDC, -55 °C to +125 °C.
Overall Verdict
The schematic pin count, symbol numbering, passive pin type, and through-hole footprint geometry are consistent with the official Samtec datasheet and footprint information. The main issues are metadata quality problems: missing pin descriptions, incorrect/unsupported electrical ratings in the description, and an inappropriate TO package_case_code value for a connector.
