SE555P

Texas Instruments · Timers / Clock Oscillators · PDIP-8

SE555P from Texas Instruments, in a PDIP-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. All voltages are measured with respect to this pin.
2 TRIG input Trigger input. The output goes high and the timing interval starts when this input falls below 1/3 VCC (the trigger threshold).
3 OUT output Timer output. Drives high (near VCC) during the timing interval and low (near GND) otherwise. Can source or sink up to 200 mA.
4 RESET input Active-low reset. When pulled below ~0.7 V, forces the output low and resets the timing cycle. Tie to VCC when unused.
5 CONT input Control voltage. Provides access to the internal 2/3 VCC reference; an external voltage or bypass capacitor (typ. 10 nF to GND) can alter timing or reject noise.
6 THRES input Threshold input. The timing interval ends when the voltage on this pin rises above 2/3 VCC (or the CONT voltage).
7 DISCH output Discharge. Open-collector output that goes low to discharge the external timing capacitor at the end of each timing interval.
8 VCC power_in Positive supply voltage. Operating range 4.5 V to 18 V for the SE555.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
se555p.step 271 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
se555p-etched.step 1.6 MB You want the part with SE555P already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 392 faces against 148 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: Texas Instruments datasheet (37 pp, sha256 a3c494d783f9c61f, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: lcsc)
  • 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).
