# SS56C

**MDD Microdiode Semiconductor** · Schottky Diodes · SMC(DO-214AB)

SS56C from MDD Microdiode Semiconductor, in a SMC(DO-214AB). 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, the end marked by the color band; the SS56C blocks up to 60 V VRRM and conducts 5.0 A average forward current. |
| 2 | A | passive | Anode terminal; forward voltage is a maximum of 0.70 V at 5.0 A for the SS56C. |

## CAD (KiCad official)

- Symbol: `SS56C`
- Footprint: `Diode_SMD:D_SMC`
- 3D model: SMC(DO-214AB) (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
- 3D model files: `ss56c-etched.step` / `ss56c-etched.glb` carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable `Adom.LaserEtch` group (Fusion-ready); `ss56c.step` / `ss56c.glb` are the bare package body.
