Looking for a 5V Regulator

I made a PCB with an incorrect dpak footprint.

The one in the PCB has the following pin connections from left to right :

1. Vin
2 (tab) Vout
3. GND

However, every single 5V regulator I have found has every combination except that! Has anyone used that type of setup before?

All DPACK I have ever used have the ground on the TAB.

I would suggest you make a small two layer PCB, top side for a conventional regulator and bottom side to adapt to your already made PCB.

You could also just "dead bug" glue it to the board and use short wire connections from the regulator pins to the board traces.
