L79L05ACD13TR

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

L79L05ACD13TR from STMicroelectronics, 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 VOUT power_out Regulated -5 V output. Deliver up to 100 mA. Requires a 0.1 uF output capacitor for stability per the test circuit.
2 VIN power_in Negative unregulated input voltage. Absolute maximum -30 V for -5 to -9 V output versions. Requires a 0.33 uF input capacitor per the test circuit. Internally shorted to pins 3, 6, and 7 via the die attach flag for thermal dissipation.
3 VIN power_in Negative unregulated input voltage. Internally commoned to pins 2, 6, and 7 via the die attach flag for improved thermal dissipation.
4 NC unconnected No connect. Leave floating or tie to VIN for board layout convenience.
5 GND power_in Ground reference (0 V). Common return for input and output; regulated output is negative relative to this pin.
6 VIN power_in Negative unregulated input voltage. Internally commoned to pins 2, 3, and 7 via the die attach flag for improved thermal dissipation.
7 VIN power_in Negative unregulated input voltage. Internally commoned to pins 2, 3, and 6 via the die attach flag for improved thermal dissipation.
8 NC unconnected No connect. Not bonded to the die.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
l79l05acd13tr.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
l79l05acd13tr-etched.step 2.4 MB You want the part with L79L05ACD13TR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 586 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 (24 pp, sha256 ba2a02bb5533f64a, 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).
