78L08

UMW · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-89-3

78L08 from UMW, 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 OUT power_out Regulated +8 V output, up to 100 mA. Typical 8.0 V (7.68-8.32 V at Tj=25°C). Requires a 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for stability.
2 GND power_in Common ground reference for input and output. Also serves as the thermal return path for the regulator die.
3 IN power_in Unregulated DC input. Recommended operating range 10.5 V to 23 V for 78L08; absolute maximum 35 V. Requires a 0.33 µF bypass capacitor to GND when the regulator is located far from the filter capacitor.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
78l08.step 57 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
78l08-etched.step 1.0 MB You want the part with 78L08 already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 269 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: UMW datasheet (22 pp, sha256 3eeae843c9f51425, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: lcsc)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
  • CAD: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0).
