LM317BTG

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

LM317BTG from onsemi, 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 Adjust passive Adjustment terminal that sets the output through the R1/R2 divider; the LM317 is designed to hold IAdj below 100 µA (50 µA typical).
2 Vout power_out Regulated output, which delivers up to 1.5 A (Imax) over an output range of 1.2 V to 37 V; the heatsink tab is connected to this pin.
3 Vin power_in Unregulated input; the input-output voltage differential must stay within -0.3 to 40 Vdc per the maximum ratings.
