BL9161G-18BARN

BL Shanghai Belling · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-23-5

BL9161G-18BARN from BL Shanghai Belling, in a SOT-23-5. 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 VIN power_in Power input voltage. Operating range 2.2V to 6V (absolute max 6V). Bypass with a 1µF ceramic capacitor to GND placed close to the pin.
2 GND power_in Device ground reference for the regulator and internal control circuitry.
3 EN input Chip enable input, active high. Drive above VIH=1.2V to enable the regulator; pull below VIL=0.4V (or leave floating) to enter shutdown. This pin has an internal pull-down resistor (A-suffix ordering option), so the LDO defaults to shutdown when EN is left open.
4 NC unconnected No internal connection. Leave floating or tie to GND for mechanical strength.
5 VOUT power_out Regulated output voltage, fixed 1.8V ±2% (18B suffix). Delivers up to 300mA with 205mV typical dropout at 300mA. Requires a ≥2.2µF ceramic output capacitor for 1.8V-option stability (per application hint).

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
bl9161g-18barn.step 85 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
bl9161g-18barn-etched.step 2.4 MB You want the part with BL9161G-18BARN already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 603 faces against 102 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:
