L78L05ABD13TR

STMicroelectronics · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOIC-8

L78L05ABD13TR from STMicroelectronics, in a SOIC-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 VOUT power_out Regulated 5 V output (4.6 V min / 5.4 V max at TJ=25 °C). Up to 100 mA with adequate heat-sinking. Recommend 0.1 µF ceramic to GND for stability.
2 GND power_in Ground reference. On the SO-8 package pins 2, 3, 6 and 7 are internally commoned to the die attach flag to lower thermal resistance; tie all four to the ground plane for best heat spreading.
3 GND power_in Ground reference. Internally commoned with pins 2, 6 and 7 to the die attach flag for thermal spreading; connect all four to the ground plane.
4 NC unconnected Not connected. Leave floating or tie to ground; no internal bond.
5 NC unconnected Not connected. Leave floating or tie to ground; no internal bond.
6 GND power_in Ground reference. Internally commoned with pins 2, 3 and 7 to the die attach flag for thermal spreading; connect all four to the ground plane.
7 GND power_in Ground reference. Internally commoned with pins 2, 3 and 6 to the die attach flag for thermal spreading; connect all four to the ground plane.
8 VIN power_in Unregulated DC input. Absolute maximum 30 V for the 5 V output variant; typical dropout ~2 V so VIN ≥ ~7 V for full 5 V regulation. Recommend 0.33 µF ceramic to GND close to the pin.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
l78l05abd13tr.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
l78l05abd13tr-etched.step 2.5 MB You want the part with L78L05ABD13TR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 617 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.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: STMicroelectronics datasheet (45 pp, sha256 43922ae159face7e, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
