The 3D model is generated, not the manufacturer's: a checked drawn model is attached

John Lauer · 13d ago

This page's STEP is a model generated with Open CASCADE from the datasheet, not the manufacturer's model, and it shows. The leads are not gull wings: they are flat strips or square posts, and the body has no draft or pin-1 dimple. Placed on a board, the part looks fake.

The manufacturer's model

Licences:

  • No manufacturer 3D model exists, so there is no licence to check.

So the manufacturer's model can't replace the page's STEP: it is not published, or only through a third party whose terms forbid redistribution.

Offered: a drawn model, checked against the datasheet

Attached is a drawn model with the part number laser-etched as a flat, toggleable Adom.LaserEtch layer: along the pin rows, upright, pin 1 lower left (adom-aiflow-etch check PASS).

  • Base: KiCad's official 3D library model Package_SO.3dshapes/TSSOP-14_4.4x5mm_P0.65mm.step, made by KiCad's package generator. Real gull-wing leads, drafted body, pin-1 dimple.
  • Licence: CC BY-SA 4.0 with the KiCad libraries' design exception (https://www.kicad.org/libraries/license/). It can be redistributed with attribution to the KiCad library team.
  • Why not drawn on the service: the shared step2glb service has no permitted body-building verb (/create-chip and /bake are chipsmith; adom/adom-step2glb#27).
  • Checked against: AS5047P 14-Bit On-Axis Magnetic Rotary Position Sensor ... (ams datasheet, Infineon-rebranded wrapper) (v2-00 (2021-Jul-22); Infineon listing 'V 02_00', PDF p.33 (printed Page 31) Figure 40 Package Outline Drawing; PDF p.34 Figure 42 Package Marking (AS5047P / YYWWMZZ)). Every face was measured with the service's /step-meta.
  • The proof: dims-drawn.md (datasheet min/max against the model) and overlay.png (every face of the model at true scale, top and side, inside the datasheet's limits). The vendor drawings are not to scale, so the limits are drawn instead.
  • Every measured dimension is inside the datasheet's limits.

Suggested: replace the page's STEP with the attached etched model, keep its provenance (attached as provenance.json), and credit KiCad's library.
