L7809CD2T-TR from STMicroelectronics, in a TO-263-2. 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 DC input (V_I). Maximum 35 V for output voltages 5-18 V. Recommend a 0.33 uF ceramic bypass capacitor placed close to the pin to suppress high-frequency oscillations. For a 9 V output, V_I must be at least ~11.5 V (accounting for ~2 V dropout at 1 A). |
| 2 | GND | power_in | Common ground for input and output. Electrically connected to the exposed tab of the D2PAK package, which also serves as the primary thermal path to the PCB copper plane (R_thJC = 3 C/W). |
| 3 | OUTPUT | power_out | Regulated +9 V DC output (V_O). Typical accuracy 2% (A-version) or 4% (standard C). Deliver up to 1 A continuous (1.5 A peak) with adequate heat-sinking. A 0.1 uF output capacitor is recommended to improve transient response. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 502 faces against 79 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.
