Product Description:

Achieve stable and reliable 5V DC regulated power for your electronic projects with our essential 7805 IC DC Voltage Regulator. This highly popular and robust integrated circuit is a cornerstone for hobbyists, students, and professional engineers looking to convert a higher, unregulated DC input voltage into a precise and steady 5-volt output. Housed typically in the industry-standard TO-220 package, it's designed for easy mounting and efficient heat dissipation, especially when paired with a heatsink for higher current applications.

The 7805 belongs to the family of fixed linear voltage regulators, meaning it provides a constant 5V output as long as its input voltage is above a certain threshold (typically around 7V to 25V for stable 5V output) and below its maximum rating (often 35V). Its three-pin configuration (Input, Ground, Output) makes it incredibly straightforward to integrate into circuits. Crucially, the 7805 offers built-in thermal overload protection and short-circuit protection, safeguarding both the IC itself and your connected components from potential damage. This makes it an incredibly reliable choice for sensitive digital circuits.

Common applications for the 7805 IC are virtually limitless: powering microcontrollers (like Arduino boards), sensors, digital logic circuits, small motors, and various 5V modules. While it's a linear regulator and thus can dissipate heat (especially when there's a large difference between input and output voltage, or with higher current draw), its simplicity, low noise output, and inherent protection features make it a go-to choice for dependable 5V regulation. Whether you're building a custom power supply, regulating voltage for a portable device, or ensuring a stable 5V rail for your embedded system, the 7805 IC DC Voltage Regulator provides an easy-to-implement and robust solution.

The 7805 IC is a reliable positive voltage regulator that provides a constant 5V DC output. It belongs to the 78xx series of fixed linear regulators and is widely used in power supply circuits to step down and regulate voltage.

This TO-220 package device can deliver up to 1A output current with proper heat sinking and includes built-in thermal shutdown and short-circuit protection for added reliability. It's perfect for powering Arduino boards, sensors, digital ICs, and other 5V logic devices.
