PJ78L15SQ from PJSEMI, 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 | Vo | power_out | Regulated output voltage pin. Provides a fixed 15V (typ) output, up to 100 mA. Requires a 0.1 µF output capacitor (C2) to GND for stability. |
| 2 | GND | power_in | Common ground reference for input and output. In the SOT-89 package this pin is also the large tab providing the primary thermal path. |
| 3 | Vi | power_in | Unregulated input voltage pin, up to 35V absolute max. Requires at least VO + dropout (~1.7V) to regulate. A 0.33 µF input capacitor (C1) to GND is recommended for stability. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 358 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.
