CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: 1.5SMC15A-E3
  • Footprint: Diode_SMD:D_SMC
  • 3D model: SMC(DO-214AB) (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: 1-5smc15a-e3-etched.step / 1-5smc15a-e3-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); 1-5smc15a-e3.step / 1-5smc15a-e3.glb are the bare package body.
