L78M10ABDT-TR

STMicroelectronics · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · TO-252-2(DPAK)

L78M10ABDT-TR from STMicroelectronics, in a TO-252-2(DPAK). 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 INPUT power_in Unregulated DC input supply. Recommended input range for a 10 V output is approximately 12.5 V to 35 V (VI absolute max = 35 V for VO 5-18 V). A 0.33 µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND is recommended close to the pin.
2 GND power_in Common ground reference for input and output. Electrically connected to the DPAK metal tab, which also serves as the primary thermal path (RthJC = 8 °C/W).
3 OUTPUT power_out Regulated +10 V DC output, up to 0.5 A with adequate heat-sinking. A 0.1 µF ceramic output capacitor to GND is recommended for transient response.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
l78m10abdt-tr.step 119 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
l78m10abdt-tr-etched.step 1.7 MB You want the part with L78M10ABDT-TR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 470 faces against 83 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: STMicroelectronics datasheet (31 pp, sha256 18210f0af10e88c0, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • 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).
