Wire the regulator for about 9 V

Required

Check the package code and the tab net before soldering. Bypass the input and output close to the part. Use at least 10 µF effective output capacitance and less than 20 Ω ESR.

Bench checks

  • Verify pin and tab continuity with power off. Do not let a heatsink short the tab to another net.
  • Measure about 1.25 V across R1 and about 9 V from OUT to ground. The divider draws roughly 10 mA, above the 5 mA maximum minimum-load specification.

The second line 816TI5 fits the SOT-223 YWWAXX traceability format (year digit 8, work week 16, assembly code T, batch suffix I5). The format does not identify the decade. The D variants share their electrical assignment, but the short center lead and package drawing options require checking the land pattern.
