# US5M

**LGE** · Diodes - General Purpose · SMC

US5M from LGE, in a SMC. 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, marked by the color band on the package; the US5M blocks up to 1000 V VRRM/VDC and passes 5.0 A average forward current at TL=90. |
| 2 | A | passive | Anode terminal, the end opposite the color band; the US5M has a maximum forward voltage of 1.7 V at 5.0 A. |

## CAD (KiCad official)

- Symbol: `US5M`
- Footprint: `Diode_SMD:D_SMC`
- 3D model: SMC (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
- 3D model files: `us5m-etched.step` / `us5m-etched.glb` carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable `Adom.LaserEtch` group (Fusion-ready); `us5m.step` / `us5m.glb` are the bare package body.
