# BAS521WT

**CBI** · Switching Diodes · SOD-523

BAS521WT from CBI, in a SOD-523. 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 | Cathode | passive | Cathode terminal of the BAS521WT high voltage switching diode; the device is rated for a 300 V reverse voltage (VR) and 225 mA continuous forward current. |
| 2 | Anode | passive | Anode terminal of the BAS521WT high voltage switching diode, the counterpart to the cathode on pin 1 in the SOD-523 package. |

## CAD (KiCad official)

- Symbol: `BAS521WT`
- Footprint: `Diode_SMD:D_SOD-523`
- 3D model: SOD-523 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
- 3D model files: `bas521wt-etched.step` / `bas521wt-etched.glb` carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable `Adom.LaserEtch` group (Fusion-ready); `bas521wt.step` / `bas521wt.glb` are the bare package body.
