L78L05ACZTR

STMicroelectronics · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · TO-92-2.54mm

L78L05ACZTR from STMicroelectronics, in a TO-92-2.54mm. 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 pin, capable of sourcing up to 100 mA. A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND is recommended for output stability and transient response.
2 GND power_in Common ground reference for the input and output. On SOT-89 this pin is also the thermal tab, so PCB copper area on this pin dominates junction-to-ambient thermal performance (RthJA ≈ 55 °C/W with 6 cm² Cu).
3 VIN power_in Unregulated positive input voltage. Absolute maximum 30 V for the 5 V output variant; typical operating range gives >2 V of dropout headroom above VOUT. A 0.33 µF input capacitor to GND is recommended, especially if the regulator is located far from the bulk supply capacitor.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
l78l05acztr.step 27 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
l78l05acztr-etched.step 1.5 MB You want the part with L78L05ACZTR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 394 faces against 19 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.
  • CAD: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0).
