LM431BCZX

onsemi · Voltage References · TO-92

LM431BCZX from onsemi, 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 REF input Reference input that sets the cathode voltage from VREF (approximately 2.5 V) up to 36 V via an external divider, with reference input current of 1.5 µA typ and 4.0 µA max.
2 ANODE power_in Anode, the common/ground-side terminal of the shunt regulator, which carries the cathode current of 1.0 to 100 mA.
3 CATHODE passive Cathode, the regulated output terminal, which operates from VREF to 36 V (37 V absolute maximum) and sinks 1.0 to 100 mA.
