LM7805CT from HGSEMI, in a TO-220. 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 | INPUT | power_in | Unregulated positive input supply. For the 5 V (LM7805C) variant the recommended input range is 7 V to 25 V, absolute maximum 35 V. A 0.33 uF bypass capacitor to GND is recommended close to the pin. |
| 2 | OUTPUT | power_out | Regulated +5 V positive output. Delivers up to 1.5 A with adequate heat sinking; internally current-limited and thermally protected. A 0.1 uF output capacitor to GND is recommended for stability. |
| 3 | GND | power_in | Common ground reference for input and output. On the TO-220-3 package the ground pin is also thermally/electrically connected to the metal tab. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 196 faces against 48 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.
