78L05 Linear Voltage Regulator – 5V Fixed Output

Working with DC electricity is a tricky exercise in wrangling electrons, and regulators are some of your most effective tools. The industry of electronics has grown to allow hobbyists like us to easily harness power levels for an incredibly wide range of different electrical and mechanical projects. Linear voltage regulators are designed to take a high voltage and step it down for maintaining a constant voltage.

This 78L05 Linear Voltage Regulator offers a 5V fixed output for your hobby electronics at up to 100mA. You can harness this tiny regulator for electronics like Development Boards, sensors, and many other low-power devices that operate on 5V, which of course have been growing in popularity dramatically since it was incorporated into the USB Standard. The 78L05 Linear Voltage Regulator provides precise voltages to your components, perfectly matching their requirements and ensuring that your circuit receives exactly what it needs to operate effectively.

In terms of electrical capabilities, this positive polarity 5V linear regulator is capable of handling up to 100mA in total. The 78L05 Linear Voltage Regulator also offers some great protection features like over temperature and short circuit protection to protect itself and other components within the circuit.
