L7809CV

UMW · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · TO-220

L7809CV from UMW, in a TO-220. 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 I power_in Unregulated input voltage. Recommended Vi ≥ 11.5V for 9V output; absolute maximum 35V. Bypass with a 0.33µF ceramic capacitor to GND close to the pin for stability.
2 G power_in Common ground reference for input and output. In the TO-220 package this pin is electrically connected to the metal tab (heatsink).
3 O power_out Regulated +9V output. Sources up to 1.2A with internal current limit (typ. 0.4A short-circuit). Bypass with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND to improve transient response.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
l7809cv.step 83 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
l7809cv-etched.step 704 KB You want the part with L7809CV already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 183 faces against 48 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 (18 pp, sha256 187ff89cc4c93f6a, 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).
