5V regulator giving 10V [SOLVED]

hello, received 2 new voltage regulators sparkfun:
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/107

upon connecting 1 of them (i did not connect second 1 yet in case did wrong) circuit:


(the imaged regulator old 1 work properly)

that powered ac/dc adaptor (used house phone believe) outputs 9v/600ma.
may add adapter outputs in reality 10-15v shouldn't matter long above dropout voltage of regulator , below max (which believe 20v).


i measured 10+ voltage regulator (practically no change),  the regulator heats too.

now heres interesting thing: older voltage regulator, in same circuit, gives output of 4.8 voltage.

my question this: have defective regulator or did somehow ruin it? thinness of new regulator compared old 1 make less tolerant , doesn't regulates voltage without proper cooling?

thanks in advanced can me on matter

no.

do have defective regulator

looks it. hard tell blurred picture. have got 2 capacitors? can see one.

did somehow ruin it?

you have wired wrong way round.
