## Pinout

| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | K | passive | Cathode (-) terminal of the LED, marked by the cathode circle on the package drawing; reverse voltage must not be applied continuously (IR test only, 10 uA max at VR = 5 V). |
| 2 | A | passive | Anode (+) terminal of the InGaN white LED, the soldering terminal opposite the cathode mark; DC forward current 20 mA max, peak 100 mA (1/10 duty, 0.1 ms), VF 2.8 to 3.6 V at 20 mA. |

## CAD (KiCad official)

- Symbol: `LTW-C230DS`
- Footprint: `LED_SMD:LED_1206_3216Metric`
- 3D model: 1206 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
- 3D model files: `ltw-c230ds-etched.step` / `ltw-c230ds-etched.glb` carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable `Adom.LaserEtch` group (Fusion-ready); `ltw-c230ds.step` / `ltw-c230ds.glb` are the bare package body.
