# S8550-TA

**Changjing** · Bipolar (BJT) · TO-92

S8550-TA from Changjing, 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 | EMITTER | passive | Emitter of the PNP transistor; emitter-base voltage limit is -5 V. |
| 2 | BASE | passive | Base of the PNP transistor; used to control collector current up to -0.5 A. |
| 3 | COLLECTOR | passive | Collector of the PNP transistor; collector-base -40 V, collector-emitter -25 V, continuous current -0.5 A maximum. |

## CAD (KiCad official)

- Symbol: `S8550-TA`
- Footprint: `Package_TO_SOT_THT:TO-92_Inline`
- 3D model: TO-92 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
- 3D model files: `s8550-ta-etched.step` / `s8550-ta-etched.glb` carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable `Adom.LaserEtch` group (Fusion-ready); `s8550-ta.step` / `s8550-ta.glb` are the bare package body.
