Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
Fixed 5V positive linear voltage regulator in TO-252 package with 500mA output current capability. Features thermal and short-circuit protection with low dropout voltage (2V typical). Suitable for general-purpose power supply applications requiring regulated 5V rails in space-constrained designs.
Package: TO-252-2 · 3 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
TO-252 power MOSFETs require careful hand-soldering due to the large drain tab and tight 4.56mm lead spacing, making a breakout board essential for reliable prototyping. This board converts the package to breadboard-compatible headers and standard 0.1-inch pitch, eliminating soldering risk and enabling rapid circuit iteration for power switching applications.
