Incorrect Default Footprints for ITX and ITQ DC/DC Converters

[gjurgiel]

Hi,

Not sure if this is the correct place to put this (maybe making a GitLab issue would be better?), but it appears that many of the ITX and ITQ DC/DC converter symbols in the default symbol library link to incorrect default footprint. Most incorrectly use the footprint for the IT series of DC/DC converters which has a slightly different pin spacing (The gap between sides is one pin too large).

All the effected symbols (as far as I can tell) are derived from the ITX0503SA-R, ITX0505S-R, and ITX0505S symbols so only these should need to be changed.

Anyway, a good lesson to always double check your footprints so you don’t end up having to order a new board like me

It is better to raise an Issue on the GitLab tracker

Hi @gjurgiel

Confirming your observations.

ITX0503SA-R lists the above LH footprint, when, in fact, it should be something like the RH footprint.
Also of note is the link to the Date Sheet does not work.

Also of note is the link to the Date Sheet does not work.

When I purchase a part I generally download the data sheet at that time and keep my own repository. Just too risky to rely on the net to remain ‘stable’ in that regard.
