Changjing · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-89-3L
CJ78L12 from Changjing, in a SOT-89-3L. 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 +12 V output. Delivers up to 100 mA (0.1 A max). A 0.1 μF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND close to the pin is recommended for transient response and stability. |
| 2 | GND | power_in | Common ground reference for both input and output. The SOT-89 tab is connected to this pin and acts as the thermal path to the PCB. |
| 3 | IN | power_in | Unregulated input supply. Absolute maximum 35 V; must exceed VO by at least the dropout voltage (~1.7 V typ). A 0.33 μF input bypass capacitor to GND close to the pin is recommended. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 273 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.
