L78L24ACUTR

STMicroelectronics · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-89-3

L78L24ACUTR from STMicroelectronics, in a SOT-89-3. 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 +24 V output (±4% for the 'AC' grade). Sources up to 100 mA. A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND is recommended for stability and transient response.
2 GND power_in Common ground reference. On SOT-89 the center lead is also the thermal/heat-sink tab, so the connected copper pour dominates the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RthJA ≈ 55 °C/W with 6 cm² copper).
3 VIN power_in Unregulated positive input supply. For the 24 V variant, absolute maximum VI = 40 V; dropout is typically 2 V so VI must be ≥ ~26 V for regulation. A 0.33 µF input capacitor to GND is recommended, especially if the regulator is remote from the bulk supply.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
l78l24acutr.step 57 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
l78l24acutr-etched.step 1.4 MB You want the part with L78L24ACUTR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 379 faces against 42 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).
