LM337 in a circuit

A physical TO-220 package with the correct input tab and capacitor polarity.

LM337 ADJ1 IN2 OUT3, negative9V input,110ohm and330ohm feedback,50ohm load,and1uF tantalum capacitors with positive terminals grounded.
All GND symbols share the input supply return. The metal tab is IN, not ground.

Connect it, step by step

Follow the component values and pin connections

Identify the input

The middle lead and metal tab are negative IN; the right lead is OUT.

Set output magnitude

Use 110 Ω OUT-to-ADJ and 330 Ω ADJ-to-ground.

Check capacitor orientation

Connect the positive ends of the input and output tantalum capacitors to the common return.
