Just because the datasheet shows the drawing in a particular direction does not negate the requirement of pin 1 being at the top left corner |
Well, F4.1 states that:
Why is this not the case here? |
The datasheet doesn't recommend a specific orientation, it just happens to be drawn that way. |
Oh, I see. Thanks for the explanation! |
Alright, I swapped the pad numbers. pin 1 is top left now. |

- Pad sizes match datasheet recommendations
- Any reason the pin numbering doesn't match the datasheet? You have 4, 5, 6, datasheet has 5, 6, 7.
- Fab dimensions match datasheet
- Pad positions and spacing are correct
- Am I correct to assume that its ok to install the switch in any orientation as the center are the common pins?
- Confirmed the part description contains the datasheet url.
In this case the pin numbers wouldn't match the symbol
That is correct. The center pins are the common pins. |

Confirm courtyard spacing and pinout matches symbol.
At least in the screenshot there is no pin1 marker on silk or Fab. |
That's true, there are no pin 1 markers. |
We are discussing this rule (without result yet): KiCad/kicad-website#422 I would argue that this part is 'polarized'. In the sense that the switch has a default position. The datasheet has detailed drawings of the tape the and how the switches are oriented in the tape. The Fab layer is intended to help the SMT operator loading the assembly machine. The silkscreen can be used to check proper orientation. Unless there is a mark they might put the switch on the board in any direction. |
Add SMD DPDT switch C&K JS202011JCQN.

Pin 1 is bottom left as with the datasheet.All contributions to the kicad library must follow the KiCad library convention
Thanks for creating a pull request to contribute to the KiCad libraries! To speed up integration of your PR, please check the following items:
Be patient, we maintainers are volunteers with limited time and need to check your contribution against the datasheet. You can speed up the process by providing all the necessary information (see above). And you can speed up the process even more by providing a dimensioned drawing of your contribution. A tutorial on how to do that is found here: https://forum.kicad.info/t/how-to-check-footprint-correctness/9279 (This is optional!)
