IC REG LINEAR -8V 500MA DPAK


Bypass caps, pull-ups, strapping resistors, custom silkscreen & more
Design a Custom BoardFixed output negative voltage regulator delivering -8.0V at up to 500mA in a surface-mount DPAK package. Features internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe-area compensation for rugged operation without external components. Suitable for dual-supply applications requiring negative rail regulation.
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.
