Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
Fixed positive voltage regulator IC delivering 5V output at up to 500mA in a surface-mount TO-252-3 package. Features internal thermal shutdown and current limiting protection. Commonly used in consumer electronics, industrial control systems, and embedded applications requiring regulated 5V power from higher voltage supplies.
Package: TO-252-2 · 3 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
This 3-pin SMD package is difficult to hand-solder due to tight pin spacing and thermal requirements typical of power switching applications. A breakout board breaks out each pin to standard headers, enabling reliable breadboard prototyping and reducing cold-joint risk during development without needing a reflow oven or hot air station.
