CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: TPSMD16CA
  • Footprint: Diode_SMD:D_SMC
  • 3D model: DO-214AB(SMCJ) (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: tpsmd16ca-etched.step / tpsmd16ca-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); tpsmd16ca.step / tpsmd16ca.glb are the bare package body.
