LM7818L-TA3-T

UTC(Unisonic Tech) · Linear Voltage Regulators (LDO) · TO-220

LM7818L-TA3-T from UTC(Unisonic Tech), 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 INPUT power_in Unregulated input voltage pin; absolute maximum 35 V for 5-18 V output versions (LM7818 variant), with VIN of 21V to 33V specified for the 18 V output.
2 GND power_in Ground pin, which must be the minimum potential in all operating conditions.
3 OUTPUT power_out Regulated 18 V output (17.28 V to 18.72 V at 25°C) delivering up to 1 A, with a maximum recommended output capacitance of 1000 μF.
