SA555DR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-8. 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 | GND | power_in | Ground reference (0 V) for the device. |
| 2 | TRIG | input | Trigger input. The output pulse begins when a negative-going pulse on TRIG crosses below 1/3 VCC, setting the internal flip-flop and driving OUT high. |
| 3 | OUT | output | Timer output. Drives high (near VCC) during the timing interval and low (near GND) otherwise. Capable of sourcing/sinking up to ~200 mA. |
| 4 | RESET | input | Active-low reset. When held below ~0.7 V, the timing cycle is interrupted and OUT is forced low. Tie to VCC when unused. |
| 5 | CONT | input | Control voltage. Provides access to the internal 2/3 VCC threshold reference. Typically bypassed to GND with a 10 nF capacitor for noise immunity; can be driven to modulate the timing thresholds. |
| 6 | THRES | input | Threshold input. Resets the internal flip-flop (ending the output pulse) when the voltage on THRES rises above 2/3 VCC. |
| 7 | DISCH | output | Discharge. Open-collector output tied to the timing capacitor; provides a low-impedance path to GND to discharge the external timing capacitor between cycles. |
| 8 | VCC | power_in | Positive supply voltage. Operating range 4.5 V to 16 V. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 439 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.
