LR78L05A

LRC · Voltage Reference · SOT-89-3

LR78L05A from LRC, in a SOT-89-3. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 Vout power_out Regulated +5 V output (4.75-5.25 V over line/load). Supplies up to 100 mA. A 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND is recommended close to the pin for stability and transient response.
2 GND power_in Ground / common return for both input and output. On SOT-89 this pin is electrically and thermally tied to the large center tab used as the primary heat-sinking pad.
3 Vin power_in Unregulated DC input, typically 7-20 V for 5 V version (absolute max 30 V for Vo=5-9V parts). Dropout ~1.7 V. A 0.33 µF bypass capacitor to GND close to the pin is recommended when the regulator is far from the power source's filter capacitor.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: LR78L05A
  • Footprint: Package_TO_SOT_SMD:SOT-89-3
  • 3D model: SOT-89-3 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: lr78l05a-etched.step / lr78l05a-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); lr78l05a.step / lr78l05a.glb are the bare package body.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
lr78l05a.step 57 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
lr78l05a-etched.step 1.1 MB You want the part with LR78L05A already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 311 faces against 42 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: LRC datasheet (6 pp, sha256 a49a118b686fea89, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: lcsc)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
