BZX79-B43 from Nexperia, in a DO-204AH(DO-35). 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 marking band on the package (the datasheet notes the band indicates the cathode); continuous forward current is limited to 250 mA. |
| 2 | A | passive | Anode (symbol 'a' in Fig.1); the device is rated for a continuous forward current of 250 mA and a non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation of 40 W (tp = 100 µs). |
