L78M05HDTR

XBLW · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · TO-252

L78M05HDTR from XBLW, in a TO-252. 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 VIN power_in Unregulated supply voltage input. Absolute max 40V; typical operating range 7-20V for 78M05. A 0.22μF (0.33μF per electrical characteristics) ceramic bypass capacitor to GND is required close to the pin for stability.
2 GND power_in Common ground reference for input and output. Tied internally to the exposed tab/cooling rib of the package.
3 OUTPUT power_out Regulated +5V output (4.9V min / 5.1V max for 78M05), up to 700mA with adequate heat sinking. A 1μF output capacitor to GND is recommended for load-transient response.
TAB GND power_in Exposed metal tab / cooling rib, internally connected to GND (pin 2). Solder to a copper pour on the PCB for thermal dissipation (TO-252-2L max power dissipation ~2W at Tc=25°C).

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
l78m05hdtr.step 119 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
l78m05hdtr-etched.step 1.6 MB You want the part with L78M05HDTR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 429 faces against 83 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: XBLW datasheet (12 pp, sha256 1cf9b83662066f88, 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).
