AMS1117-ADJ

UMW · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-223

AMS1117-ADJ from UMW, in a SOT-223. 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 ADJ input Adjust pin. Connect to the mid-point of an external resistor divider between VOUT and GND to set the output voltage per VOUT = VREF x (1 + R2/R1) + IADJ x R2, where VREF = 1.25V typical and IADJ = 60 uA typical (120 uA max).
2 VOUT power_out Regulated output voltage. Requires an output capacitor for stability (22 uF tantalum recommended). Rated for 1A continuous output current.
3 VIN power_in Input supply voltage. Absolute maximum 18V; recommended operating input up to 12V. A 10 uF input capacitor is recommended.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
ams1117-adj.step 64 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
ams1117-adj-etched.step 1.4 MB You want the part with AMS1117-ADJ already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 373 faces against 75 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 (13 pp, sha256 5ec219092aa45bd9, 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).
