# CJ78M08

**Changjing** · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · TO-252-2

CJ78M08 from Changjing, in a TO-252-2. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

## Pinout

| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN | power_in | Unregulated input supply pin; absolute maximum input voltage is 35 V, and a bypass capacitor of about 0.33 µF should be placed close to the regulator. |
| 2 | GND | power_in | Common ground and reference pin for the regulator; the datasheet gives no separate limit for this pin. |
| 3 | OUT | power_out | Regulated 8 V output pin, rated for up to 0.5 A peak output current, with a recommended output bypass capacitor of about 0.1 µF placed close to the regulator. |
