78M09

UMW · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · TO-252

78M09 from UMW, in a TO-252. 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 DC input to the regulator. For Vo=9V, recommended Vi range is 11.5 V to 24 V; absolute maximum Vi = 35 V. A 0.33 uF input capacitor (Ci) is recommended close to the pin for stability.
2 GND power_in Common ground reference for both input and output. On TO-252 the GND pin is electrically connected to the tab/heat-slug used for PCB heatsinking.
3 OUTPUT power_out Regulated +9 V output (typ 9.0 V, min 8.64 V / max 9.36 V at 25 C). Delivers up to 1 A with internal current-limit around 800 mA short-circuit and 1.3 A peak. A 0.1 uF output capacitor (Co) is recommended for transient response.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
78m09.step 119 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
78m09-etched.step 1.3 MB You want the part with 78M09 already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 324 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: UMW datasheet (16 pp, sha256 162df1416fa16ead, 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).
