MC78M15BDTRKG from onsemi, in a DPAK-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 | VIN | power_in | Unregulated positive input voltage. For the 15 V regulator, operating input range is 17.5 V-30 V (max 35 V absolute). Bypass with a ~0.33 µF ceramic to ground close to the pin. |
| 2 | GND | power_in | Common ground reference for the regulator. The exposed heatsink tab (pin 4) is electrically connected to this pin. |
| 3 | VOUT | power_out | Regulated +15 V output, up to 500 mA with adequate heatsinking (350 mA typical test conditions). Recommend a ~0.1 µF output bypass capacitor for transient response. |
| 4 | GND (Tab) | power_in | Exposed metal heatsink tab on the DPAK-3 package. Electrically shorted to pin 2 (Ground). Solder to a copper pour for heat spreading; the pour is at ground potential. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 538 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.
