LM2940T-5.0

HGSEMI · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · TO-220

LM2940T-5.0 from HGSEMI, in a TO-220. 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, operating range 6 to 26 V (absolute maximum 45 V), with a 1 A output requiring about 0.5 V typical dropout.
2 GND power_in Ground reference pin; the metal tab of the TO-220-3 package is also GND, per the datasheet figure note.
3 OUT power_out Regulated LDO output, supplying up to 1 A (load range 5 mA to 1 A) with 0.5 V typical and 1.0 V maximum dropout at 1 A.
