Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
Three-terminal positive linear voltage regulator delivering 15V at up to 500mA output current in DPAK surface-mount package. Features integrated current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe operating area protection for robust operation. Suitable for local on-card voltage regulation in a wide range of applications requiring fixed 15V output.
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.
