CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: BDX53C
  • Footprint: Package_TO_SOT_THT:TO-220-3_Vertical
  • 3D model: TO-220 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: bdx53c-etched.step / bdx53c-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); bdx53c.step / bdx53c.glb are the bare package body.

Provenance
