SK1117-3.3

Shikues · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-223

SK1117-3.3 from Shikues, in a SOT-223. 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 Ground / common return. On the fixed-output SK1117-3.3 version this pin is the device ground reference (labeled VSS/ADJ in the pinout table; on the ADJ part it is the feedback ADJ pin, on fixed parts it is GND). Tie to the single-point ground of the application.
2 VOUT power_out Regulated 3.3V output (3.234V min / 3.3V typ / 3.366V max at 0<=Iout<=1A, Vin=4.6V). Requires a 10uF tantalum bypass capacitor to ground for stability.
3 VIN power_in Unregulated input supply. Typical 15V, absolute max 18V; must be at least Vout + Vdrop (Vdrop ~1.1V at 1A). Recommend a 10uF tantalum bypass capacitor to ground.
4 VOUT power_out Regulated 3.3V output tab (large SOT-223 heat-slug pad, internally connected to pin 2). Also serves as the primary thermal dissipation path; solder to a copper pour to lower thermal resistance (SOT-223 theta_JC ~20 C/W).

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
sk1117-3-3.step 64 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
sk1117-3-3-etched.step 1.5 MB You want the part with SK1117-3.3 already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 389 faces against 75 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: Shikues datasheet (10 pp, sha256 e3e5f9a414ebb08b, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: lcsc)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
