KIA7818API-U

KEC Semicon · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · TO-220F

KIA7818API-U from KEC Semicon, in a TO-220F. 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 INPUT power_in Unregulated input voltage terminal; absolute maximum input voltage is 40 V for KIA7818, and it needs a capacitor to GND.
2 GND power_in Ground terminal, also connected to the package, and the reference for the input and output capacitors.
3 OUTPUT power_out Regulated 18 V output (17.3 to 18.7 V at Tj=25°C, IOUT=100mA) with output current in excess of 1 A and internal short-circuit current limiting.
