Fixed 3.3 V rail at 500 mA — what it covers
The Texas Instruments UA78M33CKCSE3 is a fixed-output 3.3 V linear regulator rated for 500 mA continuous current. It is a single positive regulator in a TO-220-3 through-hole package, designed to supply clean DC rails for logic, MCU, sensor, or small analog circuits where ripple rejection matters.
Package and mounting — TO-220-3 through-hole
The TO-220-3 package has a metal tab for heatsink attachment. The tab is electrically connected to the output pin (pin 2), so a mica insulator or thermal pad is needed if the heatsink is grounded.
