L7815CV (Linear Voltage Regulator, 7815, 15V And 1.5A Out, TO-220-3)

The L7815CV family is a three-terminal positive regulators is available in TO-220, TO-220FP, TO-3, D²PAK and DPAK packages and 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 employs internal current limiting, thermal shut-down and safe area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1 A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltage and currents. Family Features: Output current up to 1.5 A Output voltages of 5V; 6V; 8V; 8.5V; 9V; 12V; 15V (this product); 18V; 24 V Thermal overload protection Short circuit protection Output transition SOA protection 2 % output voltage tolerance (A version) Guaranteed in extended temperature range (A version)
