LM317BT

STMicroelectronics · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · TO-220-3

LM317BT from STMicroelectronics, in a TO-220-3. 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 input Adjustment terminal sets the output voltage through the external resistor divider, with adjustment pin current IADJ of 100 µA max.
2 OUTPUT output Regulated output delivers more than 1.5 A of load current, with IO(max) of 1.5 A minimum over the specified conditions.
3 INPUT power_in Unregulated input supply; the input-to-output differential voltage must not exceed the 40 V absolute maximum.
