KEXIN · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-89-3
LM78L05 from KEXIN, 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 | OUT | power_out | Regulated +5 V output. Typical Vo = 5.0 V (4.75 V to 5.25 V over Tj = 0 to 125 degC, Io = 1 mA to 70 mA). Maximum output current 100 mA. A 0.1 uF bypass capacitor to GND is recommended close to the pin for transient response. |
| 2 | GND | power_in | Common ground reference for the regulator. Also serves as the thermal tab on the SOT-89 package; PCB copper area on this pad aids power dissipation (Pd = 0.5 W at Ta = 25 degC). |
| 3 | IN | power_in | Unregulated DC input, 7 V to 20 V for spec compliance, 30 V absolute maximum. A 0.33 uF bypass capacitor to GND should be placed close to the pin for stability. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 262 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.
