78D08L from UMW, in a TO-252-2. 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 positive supply input. Absolute maximum V_I = 35 V (V_O ≤ 18 V variants). Recommended operating input range for the 78D08 is 10.5 V to 23 V (to guarantee regulation at 1 A) and up to 25 V per line-regulation spec. A 0.33 µF ceramic input bypass capacitor (C_IN) to GND is required close to the pin. |
| 2 | GND | power_in | Common ground reference for the regulator and its reference-voltage divider. On the TO-252 package this pin is electrically connected to the exposed tab/heat slug, which should be soldered to a copper pour for heat-sinking (θ_JC = 12.5 °C/W). |
| 3 | OUTPUT | power_out | Regulated +8 V output (7.68-8.32 V typ. at Tj=25°C, 7.6-8.4 V over I_O = 5 mA-1 A, V_I = 10.5-23 V). Delivers up to 1 A continuous (I_SC ≈ 800 mA, I_PK ≈ 1.3 A). Dropout voltage V_D ≈ 2 V at I_O = 500 mA. A 0.1 µF ceramic output capacitor (C_OUT) to GND is required for loop stability. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 347 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.
