78L10

Shikues · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-89

78L10 from Shikues, 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 +10 V output. Typical 10.0 V (9.5 V min / 10.5 V max at Tj = 25 C), rated up to 150 mA absolute maximum (100 mA continuous is the standard 78Lxx rating). Requires a 0.1 uF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for stability.
2 GND power_in Common ground / device reference. On the SOT-89 package this pin is also fused to the large center tab used for heat spreading.
3 IN power_in Unregulated positive supply input. Must be at least ~1.7 V above VO (dropout) and within 12.5 V to 25 V for regulation; absolute maximum VI = 30 V. Bypass with 0.33 uF ceramic close to the pin.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
78l10.step 57 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
78l10-etched.step 904 KB You want the part with 78L10 already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 245 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.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: Shikues datasheet (7 pp, sha256 a767b47e125b2a38, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: lcsc)
  • 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).
