KF50BD-TR from STMicroelectronics, in a SOIC-8-150mil. 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 | VOUT | power_out | Regulated 5 V output. Requires a 2.2 µF (min) bypass capacitor with ESR 0.1 to 10 Ω for stability. Delivers up to 500 mA with internal current and thermal limiting. |
| 2 | GND | power_in | Ground return. Tie to system ground plane; used together with the other GND pins for heat conduction on SO-8. |
| 3 | GND | power_in | Ground return. Tie to system ground plane; used together with the other GND pins for heat conduction on SO-8. |
| 4 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection. Leave floating or tie to ground. |
| 5 | INHIBIT | input | TTL-compatible shutdown control input. Logic high (>= 2 V) enables the regulator (ON mode); logic low (<= 0.8 V) puts the device in standby (OFF mode, ~50 µA quiescent). Input current ~10 µA at VC = 6 V. |
| 6 | GND | power_in | Ground return. Tie to system ground plane; used together with the other GND pins for heat conduction on SO-8. |
| 7 | GND | power_in | Ground return. Tie to system ground plane; used together with the other GND pins for heat conduction on SO-8. |
| 8 | VIN | power_in | Unregulated DC input, absolute max -0.5 to 20 V; operating input up to 20 V. Recommend a 0.1 µF input decoupling capacitor. For the 5 V variant, minimum VI for 500 mA regulation is ~6.3 V (VO + dropout). |

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:
| File | Size | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
kf50bd-tr.step |
122 KB | You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards. |

1.8 MB | You want the part with KF50BD-TR already on it. |
The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 450 faces against 147 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.
