CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: BZG05C18-HM3-08
  • Footprint: Diode_SMD:D_SMA
  • 3D model: SMA(DO-214AC) (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: bzg05c18-hm3-08-etched.step / bzg05c18-hm3-08-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); bzg05c18-hm3-08.step / bzg05c18-hm3-08.glb are the bare package body.
