ONSEMI MC7824CTG +24V Linear Voltage Regulator, TO-220, 1A

The ONSEMI MC7824CTG is a robust +24V fixed linear voltage regulator designed for a wide variety of applications, including local, on-card regulation. This reliable component is engineered to deliver a stable output in demanding environments, making it a fundamental part of power supply design.

The regulator employs advanced internal protection features including current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe-area compensation for the output transistor. These integrated safeguards enhance the durability and safety of your circuits by protecting against overloads and short-circuits. With adequate heat sinking, the device can deliver output currents in excess of 1.0A.

While primarily designed as a fixed voltage regulator, the MC7824CTG offers design flexibility and can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and currents, catering to more specialised project requirements. Its straightforward implementation requires no external components for basic fixed-voltage operation, simplifying board design and reducing part count.
