LM2936Z-5.0

Texas Instruments · Linear Voltage Regulators (LDO) · TO-92-3

LM2936Z-5.0 from Texas Instruments, in a TO-92-3. 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 OUT power_out Regulated output voltage that requires a minimum output capacitance with a specific ESR on this pin to maintain stability.
2 GND power_in Ground reference pin for the regulator.
3 IN power_in Unregulated input voltage; operating VIN range is 5.5 V to 40 V for LM2936.

Materials and finish

As the datasheet states them (page.json metadata.appearance; the 3D model's colours follow it).

Part Material Colour / plating Datasheet says Page
contacts copper is practical to the package. The ground connections for CIN and COUT should be back to the LM2936 ground pin using as wide, and as short, of a copper trace as is practical. 16
