LM338T from Texas Instruments, in a TO-220. 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 | ADJ | input | Output voltage adjustment pin requiring 45-100 µA current (TJ 0-125°C) with 1.25 V nominal reference for resistor divider voltage setting. |
| 2 | VOUT | output | Voltage output pin capable of supplying 5 A continuous current over 1.2 V to 32 V output voltage range. |
| 3 | VIN | power_in | Supply input pin with required 3 to 40 V input-to-output differential voltage for regulation. |
