CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: MAX232IDWR
  • Footprint: Package_SO:SOIC-16_3.9x9.9mm_P1.27mm
  • 3D model: SOIC-16-300mil (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: max232idwr-etched.step / max232idwr-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); max232idwr.step / max232idwr.glb are the bare package body.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: Texas Instruments datasheet (27 pp, sha256 01339e34573b5a2b, retrieved 2026-09-24, tier: lcsc)
  • Datasheet language: Chinese. Pin names, descriptions, and specs on this page were extracted and translated to English by ds2sf; the linked PDF is the manufacturer original.
  • Extractor: parts-factory 2.0.0 / extract_pins 0.2, primary claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 (text), consensus claude-sonnet-5 (agreed), guards: pin_guards 0.1: passed. Pins are checked against the footprint pad set and their cited datasheet pages before publish.
  • CAD: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0).
