1N5917B from EIC Semicon, in a DO-41. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | K | passive | Cathode end of the zener diode, marked by the color band; positive with respect to the anode in zener (reverse) operation, with 1N5917B nominal VZ 4.7 V at IZT 79.8 mA. |
| 2 | A | passive | Anode lead of the axial DO-41 zener diode, opposite the color-banded cathode end; maximum steady-state dissipation is 1.5 W at TL = 75 °C with 3/8" lead length. |
