BR431

Foshan Blue Rocket Elec · Bipolar (BJT) · TO-92

BR431 from Foshan Blue Rocket Elec, in a TO-92. 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 of the adjustable shunt regulator, rated for a cathode sink current of 1.0 mA to 100 mA and a continuous cathode current range of -100 to +100 mA.
2 A passive Anode of the adjustable shunt regulator, with a maximum cathode-to-anode voltage rating of 37 V.
3 R input Reference input that sets the output voltage (VO = Vref to 37 V), with a reference voltage of 2.500 V typical and a continuous reference input current range of 0.05 to 10 mA.
