The 5V Voltage Regulator IC is an industry-standard three-terminal positive linear voltage regulator designed to convert higher unregulated DC input voltages (typically 7V to 35V DC) into a stable, noise-free 5V DC output. Housed in the heavy-duty TO-220 package, this IC can deliver up to 1.5A of continuous output current when paired with an adequate heatsink.
Equipped with built-in thermal overload protection, internal short-circuit current limiting, and output transistor safe-area protection, the L7805CV guards your circuits against electrical shorts and overheating. Its reliable voltage regulation and high ripple rejection make it an indispensable component for stepping down multi-cell battery packs or unregulated DC wall adapters to safe logic-level voltages.
The L7805CV is widely used to power 5V microcontrollers, sensor arrays, relay modules, displays, and TTL digital logic circuits. Featuring standard through-hole pins with a 2.54mm pitch, it connects effortlessly into breadboards, stripboards, perfboards, and custom printed circuit boards (PCBs), making it fully compatible with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, PIC, AVR, and general DIY electronics projects.
