CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: BC556
  • Footprint: Package_TO_SOT_THT:TO-92_Inline
  • 3D model: TO-92 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: bc556-etched.step / bc556-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); bc556.step / bc556.glb are the bare package body.
