MC79L05ACPG

onsemi · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · TO-92-3

MC79L05ACPG from onsemi, in a TO-92-3. 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 GND power_in Common ground reference. Must be shared between the input and output supplies.
2 Vin power_in Negative input voltage. For the -5 V variant (MC79L05AC), typical input is around -10 V; absolute maximum -30 Vdc. Must remain at least ~2.0 V more negative than Vout even at the ripple minimum; a 0.33 uF bypass capacitor to ground is recommended.
3 Vout power_out Regulated negative output, -5.0 V nominal (-4.8 V to -5.2 V at Tj = 25 C), up to 100 mA. A 0.1 uF output bypass capacitor is recommended to improve stability and transient response.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
mc79l05acpg.step 27 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
mc79l05acpg-etched.step 1.7 MB You want the part with MC79L05ACPG already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 423 faces against 19 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: onsemi datasheet (14 pp, sha256 115a59773830cb30, 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).
