TLV431AFTA from Diodes Incorporated, in a SOT-23. 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 | REF | input | Reference / feedback input. Compared internally to the 1.24 V bandgap reference; drives the internal error amplifier that regulates cathode current so that V(REF) equals VREF. Typical input current 0.15 uA (0.5 uA max); absolute maximum input current range -0.05 to +3 mA. |
| 2 | CATHODE | power_in | Cathode (K). Regulated shunt terminal; sinks current from the load/bias resistor to maintain V(REF) = 1.24 V. Recommended operating cathode voltage VREF to 18 V; cathode current 0.1 mA to 15 mA (absolute max +/-20 mA, VKA max 20 V). Minimum cathode current for regulation IKMIN ~ 55 uA typ. |
| 3 | ANODE | power_in | Anode (A). Common return terminal; all datasheet voltages are referenced to ANODE. Normally tied to the low-voltage rail (GND) of the regulated network. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 319 faces against 69 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.
