ONSEMI -12V 1A Negative Linear Voltage Regulator TO-220

The ONSEMI -12V 1A Negative Linear Voltage Regulator is a fixed output linear device intended as a complement to the popular MC7800 series. Available in fixed output voltage options from -5.0 to -24V, this linear voltage regulator employs current limiting, thermal shutdown and safe-area compensation, making it remarkably rugged under most operating conditions. With adequate heat sinking, it can deliver output currents in excess of 1.0A, providing reliable power management for demanding applications.

Key Features

• No external components required
• Internal thermal overload protection
• Internal short-circuit current limiting
• Output transistor safe-area compensation
• Available in 2% voltage tolerance

Designed for through-hole mounting, this negative polarity regulator operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 125°C. It features a typical dropout voltage of 1.3V and accepts an input voltage range from -35V to -19V. The device comes in a TO-220 package with 3 pins and compact dimensions of 43 mm x 33 mm x 15 mm, weighing just 2 grams. This ensures straightforward integration into various electronic circuits and motor drive control systems.
