UMW · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SO-8
L78L05A from UMW, in a SO-8. 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 | OUTPUT | power_out | Regulated +5 V output (nominal 4.8-5.2 V at TJ=25 °C). Sources up to 100 mA. Requires a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability and transient response. |
| 2 | GND | power_in | Common/ground reference. Return path for input current, output current, and quiescent current (~2 mA typ). |
| 3 | INPUT | power_in | Unregulated DC input, typically 7.5 V to 20 V (absolute max 35 V for VO=3.3-18 V variants). Requires a 0.33 µF ceramic input capacitor to GND close to the pin; dropout ~1.7 V above VO. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 375 faces against 147 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.
