79D05

Foshan Blue Rocket Elec · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · TO-252

79D05 from Foshan Blue Rocket Elec, 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 GND power_in Ground reference pin. Common return for the negative regulator; carries the sum of load and quiescent (bias) currents (Id typ. 8mA max).
2 IN power_in Negative unregulated input voltage (VIN). Operating input range approximately -7V to -25V; absolute maximum input-to-output differential -35V. Requires a 0.33uF input decoupling capacitor to GND.
3 OUT power_out Regulated -5V output (typ. -5.0V, -4.8V to -5.2V at Tj=25C). Delivers up to 1.0A load current with dropout ~1.4V at 1A. Requires a 0.1uF output capacitor to GND for stability.
4 TAB power_in Exposed thermal tab on the back of the TO-252 package, electrically connected to GND (pin 1). Provides the primary heat-sink path; RthetaJC = 5 C/W, RthetaJA = 65 C/W.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
79d05.step 119 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
79d05-etched.step 1.2 MB You want the part with 79D05 already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 311 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: Foshan Blue Rocket Elec datasheet (6 pp, sha256 710806ef2011ac1d, 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).
