The L7805 TO263 for CircuitModules is a fixed 5V linear voltage regulator in a TO263 surfacemount package, supplied as a 10piece lot. Designed to provide a reliable, easy to implement 5V rail for CircuitModules projects and production, it helps power microcontrollers, sensors, and other logic devices from a higher voltage source with a compact SMT footprint. Key benefits Delivers a stable 5V output for microcontrollers, sensors, and digital logic, simplifying board power architecture. Surfacemount TO263 package with a metal heatdissipation tab enables compact layouts and improves thermal performance on soldered boards. 10piece pack supports development, prototyping, and smallbatch production without frequent reorders. Compatible with standard L7805 designs, offering a straightforward drop in for boards that require a 5V regulator in the CircuitModules lineup. Simple integration and sourcing for consistent performance across CircuitModules assemblies. Key attributes Functionality: Fixed 5V linear voltage regulator. Compatibility: Part of the L7805 family; suitable for circuits needing a stable 5V rail; typically used with input voltages higher than the output voltage; external input and output capacitors are recommended per datasheet for stability. Package size: TO263 surfacemount package (D2PAK style) with a heatdissipation tab for boardlevel thermal management. Material: Epoxyencapsulated silicon die in a TO263 package. Performance: Provides a regulated 5V output; designed for integration into CircuitModules projects; requires appropriate capacitors and thermal management on the board to ensure reliable operation. Applications and use cases Embedded controller power: Supply a 5V rail for microcontrollers and peripheral logic on compact CircuitModulesbased boards from a higher voltage source. Sensor and peripheral regulation: Provide a stable 5V source for sensors, ADCs, and other lowpower peripherals in small formfactor assemblies. Prototyping and production runs: Stock and deploy the 10piece pack for development builds, pilot runs, or smallbatch manufacturing where a 5V regulator in TO263 is preferred for SMT layouts. Notes For proper operation, include the recommended input and output capacitors as specified in the L7805 datasheet and observe appropriate thermal considerations on your PCB design.
