Match every connector sample to an identified part and drawing revision before testing or assembly review. A result belongs to the specimen actually examined, not automatically to the newest PDF in the project folder. Sample labels, document control and test records should preserve that relationship from receipt through final disposition.

Create the sample identity at receipt
Record the supplier part number, lot or sample reference, received quantity and any revision marking. Photograph the original packaging before repacking. Assign internal sample identifiers without discarding the supplier's labels or their relationship to individual pieces.
If the part is too small for a durable label, identify its container or position in a controlled tray. Define how that association is preserved when pieces are removed for assembly, sectioning or testing. A labeled bag is not sufficient after its contents are mixed on a bench.
Resolve the document set
List the drawing, data sheet, approved changes and application instructions used for evaluation. Check their identities against the supplier's sample statement. A common part number can span revisions, so ask the supplier to confirm the construction actually shipped.
CZT's USB Type-C connector family includes the catalog reference 10317016B001 USB TYPE C F. That name supports an identification inquiry; it does not establish which drawing revision a particular unmarked sample represents. Obtain a written sample-to-drawing cross-reference when the packaging does not settle it.
A sample and document matching table
| Record | Entry to preserve |
|---|---|
| Internal sample ID | Individual specimen or controlled group identity |
| Supplier identity | Part, lot and original package reference |
| Construction revision | Confirmed drawing and change status |
| Evaluation documents | Data sheet and instructions used |
| Intended activity | Fit, electrical, environmental or destructive examination |
| Disposition | Released for defined evaluation, held or returned |
Use the table as an index to the actual files and photographs. A statement that documents are on file is less useful than a link or controlled record identifier.

Isolate mixed or uncertain revisions
Do not combine uncertain samples with confirmed ones to complete a test quantity. Hold them separately, record the uncertainty and request clarification. If mixed revisions were already tested, identify which conclusions remain attributable and which need a new evaluation.
A hypothetical first article may fit the board successfully, while its label later reveals that the supplier sent the preceding revision. Preserve the successful observation, but do not assign it to the revised design without a justified comparison and any necessary recheck.
Keep tested and untested samples visibly separate during evaluation. A specimen used for destructive analysis or repeated assembly should not return to the unused pool without a recorded disposition.
When a new drawing arrives, retain the earlier test's original document reference. Add a change assessment instead of replacing its file link silently. This preserves useful historical evidence and makes the approval trail understandable when a production part differs from the sample that was originally examined.

A catalog drawing reference is a starting document, not a substitute for reviewing its revision, options and suitability for the complete assembly.
