# M4 GPP

**MDD Microdiode Semiconductor** · Diodes - General Purpose · SMA(DO-214AC)

M4 GPP from MDD Microdiode Semiconductor, in a SMA(DO-214AC). 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 terminal, the end marked by the polarity band on the body; M4 is rated 400 V VRRM, 280 V VRMS and 400 V DC blocking, with 1 A average forward current. |
| 2 | A | passive | Anode terminal, the end opposite the polarity band; M4 has a 30 A peak forward surge current (8.3 ms) and a maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V at 1.0 A. |

## CAD (KiCad official)

- Symbol: `M4 GPP`
- Footprint: `Diode_SMD:D_SMA`
- 3D model: SMA(DO-214AC) (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
- 3D model files: `m4-gpp-etched.step` / `m4-gpp-etched.glb` carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable `Adom.LaserEtch` group (Fusion-ready); `m4-gpp.step` / `m4-gpp.glb` are the bare package body.
