> The pinout is wrong, is it not?

Not if both connectors are drawn looking top-down.

Note the ribbing and clip on the female connector, the bottom of the female connector is at the bottom of the drawing. You'd mate these by lifting the female straight up, rotating about 90 degrees along the vertical axis, and pushing down onto the male connector. And when mated that way, the labeled pin-outs line up perfectly.




Oh, you're right; it's drawn such that the business end's holes for the pins are hidden on the bottom; the wires should be coming out the top, but they're not rendered. (So, the pinout is right.)

(Edit: in my defense, the CAD model's square holes on that end are pin holes, not wire holes, which would almost certainly be wider, not square, and take up more of the space available on that side, and do on the connector I have. Hard to find a photo on Google, as nobody photographs the non-business-end…)
