TWGMC · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-89
78L09 from TWGMC, in a SOT-89. 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 positive output, nominal +9 V (8.64 - 9.36 V at Tj = 25 °C). Deliverable output current up to ~100 mA. A 0.1 µF ceramic output capacitor to GND is recommended for stability. |
| 2 | GND | power_in | Common ground / reference return for both the input and output sides of the regulator. |
| 3 | IN | power_in | Unregulated positive input supply. Absolute max 35 V; typical operating range 11.4 V - 24 V for a regulated 9 V output. A 0.33 µF input capacitor to GND is recommended when the regulator is located far from the bulk supply filter. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 258 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.
