KF50BD-TR

STMicroelectronics · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOIC-8-150mil

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.
kf50bd-tr-etched.step 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.

Provenance

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

  • Datasheet: STMicroelectronics datasheet (21 pp, sha256 a683c58723f09c6f, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
  • CAD: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0).
