78L24

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

78L24 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 VOUT power_out Regulated +24V output, up to 150 mA. Output voltage tolerance is ±5% (±4% over 1-40 mA / 7-18 V VIN). A 0.1 µF output capacitor is recommended for improved transient response.
2 GND power_in Common ground reference for both input and output. Also carries the regulator's quiescent current (typ 3 mA, max 5.5 mA at VIN=10 V, IO=40 mA).
3 VIN power_in Unregulated positive input supply. Must be at least ~2 V above VOUT (dropout ≈ 2 V at 100 mA) and must not exceed VIN(MAX) = 30 V. A 0.33 µF bypass capacitor close to this pin is recommended.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
78l24.step 57 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
78l24-etched.step 913 KB You want the part with 78L24 already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 248 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 2f2bf1f5a553c543, 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).
