SL401 from Slkor SLKORMICRO Elec, in a SOT-23-6. 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 Reference ground return for the device.
2 RQ output Open-drain reset/status output. Toggles based on Vout thresholds (typical VRQH ~5.05-5.6 V rising, VRQL ~4.1-4.85 V falling); requires an external pull-up (e.g. to a 5 V rail via a resistor) to drive an MCU input.
3 EN input Enable input. VthH typical 2.90 V, VthL typical 1.60 V; maximum 7 V. Ton ≤10 µs, Toff ≤1 µs (RL<1 kΩ).
4 Vs power_in Positive supply input. Operating range 4 V to 42 V (absolute max 42 V). Quiescent current Iq ≈120-200 µA (EN=0 V, Vs=10 V).
5 OUT output Constant-current output to the LED cathode side. Default Iout ≈10 mA, adjustable via Rext up to 65 mA (100 mA abs max). Minimum saturation drop VSmin ≈1.4 V at 10 mA; maximum output voltage 40 V.
6 Rext passive External bias-resistor pin used to program the constant output current above the 10 mA default (up to 65 mA). Vdrop across Rext is typically 0.91 V at Iout=10 mA; internal reference resistance Rint ≈78-104 Ω. Leave open to use the default 10 mA setting.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
sl401.step 97 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
sl401-etched.step 1.1 MB You want the part with SL401 already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 289 faces against 117 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:
