#102: L7805CV To-220 (Linear Voltage Regulator)
R5.60
The L7805CV is a type of linear voltage regulator that is used to provide a stable and consistent DC voltage to electronic circuits. It is available in a TO-220 package, which is a type of plastic encapsulated package with three leads that is commonly used for power semiconductors. The L7805CV is a popular choice for voltage regulation due to its low cost, simplicity, and reliability. It is capable of regulating a wide range of input voltages and can deliver up to 1.5A of current. It is often used in electronic circuits where a stable DC voltage is required, such as in power supplies, battery chargers, and portable electronic devices.
The L7805CV is a three-terminal positive Voltage Regulator with several fixed output voltages, making it useful in a wide range of applications. These regulators can provide local on-card regulation, eliminating the distribution problems associated with single point regulation. Each type embeds internal current limiting, thermal shut-down and safe area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltage and currents.
