MC78L12ACDR2G from onsemi, in a SOIC-8. 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 positive output voltage, nominally +12 V (11.5 V min, 12.5 V max at TJ = +25 °C) at up to 100 mA. Bypass with 0.1 µF ceramic for improved transient response. |
| 2 | GND | power_in | Common ground reference. Pins 2, 3, 6, and 7 are electrically common to the die attach flag and act as the thermal/electrical ground for the regulator. |
| 3 | GND | power_in | Common ground reference; tied to the die attach flag together with pins 2, 6, and 7 to reduce package thermal resistance. |
| 4 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection. Leave floating or tie to ground per PCB layout convenience. |
| 5 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection. Leave floating or tie to ground per PCB layout convenience. |
| 6 | GND | power_in | Common ground reference; tied to the die attach flag together with pins 2, 3, and 7. |
| 7 | GND | power_in | Common ground reference; tied to the die attach flag together with pins 2, 3, and 6. |
| 8 | VIN | power_in | Unregulated positive input supply. For the 12 V variant, VIN must be at least ~1.7 V above VOUT (typ dropout) and is rated for continuous operation up to 35 V (absolute max 35 Vdc for the 12-18 V group). Bypass with 0.33 µF close to the pin. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 609 faces against 147 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.
