  symbol: diode

Pinout restrictions

• Generally there is no need to define pinout section when we have an element with only two pins.
• If there is pinout section then some naming conventions are to be respected.
• Anode pin name should begin with letter A. Example: A, A1
• Cathode pin name should begin with letter C. Example: C, C1
• There may be not connected pin(s) whose name should begin with NC. Example: NC, NC1
• If there are any other pins then a symbol with enclosure and annotated pins will be generated.
