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. |

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

|---|---|---|

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.
