LD1117DT12CTR

STMicroelectronics · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · TO-252-2(DPAK)

LD1117DT12CTR from STMicroelectronics, in a TO-252-2(DPAK). 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 GND power_in Device ground reference. Sets the return path for the pass element and the internal reference; the regulator's fixed output voltage (1.2 V for the #12 option) is measured with respect to this pin.
2 VOUT power_out Regulated output, 1.2 V nominal (±1 % at 25 °C), up to 800 mA. Requires a 10 µF minimum output capacitor for stability. Electrically connected to the DPAK exposed tab.
3 VIN power_in Unregulated supply input. Operating range extends up to 15 V DC (absolute max 18 V when IOUT < 20 mA). A 100 nF input decoupling capacitor is recommended per the application circuit.
TAB VOUT power_out Exposed metal tab electrically tied to VOUT (pin 2), providing the primary thermal path to the PCB copper. Solder to the VOUT pad for both electrical connection and heat spreading (RthJC = 8 °C/W for DPAK).

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
ld1117dt12ctr.step 119 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
ld1117dt12ctr-etched.step 1.7 MB You want the part with LD1117DT12CTR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 454 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: STMicroelectronics datasheet (44 pp, sha256 1b80923ec6ca9161, 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).
