STMICROELECTRONICS 7805 5V 1.5A Positive Voltage Regulator TO-220-3

The STMICROELECTRONICS 7805 is a robust 5V, 1.5A positive voltage regulator designed to provide local on-card regulation, effectively eliminating the distribution problems associated with single-point regulation. This device is built to be highly durable, employing internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe area protection to ensure reliable performance under demanding conditions.

With adequate heat sinking, this regulator can deliver an output current of over 1A. Although primarily designed as a fixed voltage regulator, it can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and currents, offering excellent versatility for your electronic projects.

Key Features

• Fixed output voltage of 5V with a 2% tolerance
• Maximum output current of 1.5A
• Internal thermal overload and short circuit protection
• Output transition SOA (Safe Operating Area) protection
• Input voltage range from 10V to 35V

Housed in a TO-220-3 through-hole package, this voltage regulator operates effectively within a temperature range of 0°C to 125°C. Its compact dimensions of 43 mm in height, 33 mm in width, and 15 mm in depth make it suitable for a variety of circuit board layouts and power management applications.
