MC79M05BDTRKG

onsemi · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · DPAK-3

MC79M05BDTRKG from onsemi, in a DPAK-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 GND power_in Common ground reference. Must be shared between the input and output voltages. In the DPAK-3 package this pin is also electrically common with the tab (pin 4).
2 VI power_in Unregulated negative input supply. Absolute maximum input voltage is -35 Vdc. Must remain typically 1.1 V more negative than VO (dropout voltage) even during ripple peaks. A 0.33 uF input bypass capacitor (Cin) is recommended when the regulator is located an appreciable distance from the power supply filter.
3 VO power_out Regulated -5.0 V output (tolerance +/-4.0% for the B-grade, TJ = -40 to +125 C). Delivers up to 500 mA with proper heatsinking. A 1.0 uF output capacitor (CO) is recommended to improve stability and transient response.
4 TAB power_in Exposed thermal tab on the DPAK-3 package. Electrically connected to pin 1 (GND). Should be soldered to a copper pour for heat dissipation; copper area determines effective theta_JA (see Figure 1 on page 4).

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
mc79m05bdtrkg.step 119 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
mc79m05bdtrkg-etched.step 2.1 MB You want the part with MC79M05BDTRKG already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 547 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: onsemi datasheet (9 pp, sha256 cab487486a5292f6, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
