BL78L05D

BL Shanghai Belling · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-89-3

BL78L05D from BL Shanghai Belling, in a SOT-89-3. 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 OUT power_out Regulated +5V output. Typical 5.0V (min 4.8V, max 5.2V) at Io = 1mA-70mA over 7V ≤ Vi ≤ Vmax. Maximum continuous output current 100mA. Requires ≥0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND close to the pin for stability.
2 GND power_in Ground/common reference for the regulator. Tie to system ground plane; internally connected to pins 3, 6, and 7 in the SOP8 package.
3 GND power_in Ground/common reference (internally tied to pins 2, 6, 7). Additional GND pins improve thermal dissipation via the PCB.
4 NC unconnected No internal connection. Leave floating or tie to GND; do not use as a signal node.
5 NC unconnected No internal connection. Leave floating or tie to GND; do not use as a signal node.
6 GND power_in Ground/common reference (internally tied to pins 2, 3, 7). Additional GND pins improve thermal dissipation via the PCB.
7 GND power_in Ground/common reference (internally tied to pins 2, 3, 6). Additional GND pins improve thermal dissipation via the PCB.
8 IN power_in Unregulated DC input. Absolute maximum 35V; recommended operating range approximately 7V to 20V (must be at least Vout + ~1.7V dropout). Requires ≥0.33µF bypass capacitor close to the pin for input stability.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
bl78l05d.step 57 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
bl78l05d-etched.step 1.2 MB You want the part with BL78L05D already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 320 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
