TL431CDR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 CATHODE output Output terminal supporting 1 to 100 mA continuous shunt current sink with programmable voltage from Vref (approximately 2.5V) to 36V and 0.2Ω typical output impedance.
2 ANODE power_in Common ground return pin for regulator; must be connected to system ground with all other ANODE pins for proper current distribution.
3 ANODE power_in Common ground return pin for regulator; must be connected to system ground with all other ANODE pins for proper current distribution.
4 NC unconnected No internal connection; leave unconnected per datasheet specifications.
5 NC unconnected No internal connection; leave unconnected per datasheet specifications.
6 ANODE power_in Common ground return pin for regulator; must be connected to system ground with all other ANODE pins for proper current distribution.
7 ANODE power_in Common ground return pin for regulator; must be connected to system ground with all other ANODE pins for proper current distribution.
8 REF input Reference input pin with nominal threshold of 2.495V requiring 2 to 4 µA input current for linear operation as feedback node to set regulator output voltage.
