## CAD (KiCad official)

- Symbol: `S5MHE3_A`
- Footprint: `Diode_SMD:D_SMC`
- 3D model: DO-214AB(SMC) (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
- 3D model files: `s5mhe3-a-etched.step` / `s5mhe3-a-etched.glb` carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable `Adom.LaserEtch` group (Fusion-ready); `s5mhe3-a.step` / `s5mhe3-a.glb` are the bare package body.
