UMW · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · TO-252
78M15 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. Maximum DC input voltage 35 V (for Vo=5..18 V variants). Recommended input bypass capacitor Ci = 0.33 uF close to the pin for stability. |
| 2 | GND | power_in | Common ground reference for both the input and regulated output. On TO-252 and SOT-223 packages the tab is electrically connected to this pin and should be soldered to a copper pour for thermal dissipation. |
| 3 | OUTPUT | power_out | Regulated positive DC output. Fixed nominal voltage depending on suffix (78M15 = +15 V, tolerance +/-4%). Output current up to 1 A, internally limited (Isc ~800 mA at Vi=35 V). Recommended output capacitor Co = 0.1 uF for transient response. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 287 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.
