LM309K STEEL 5V 1A Voltage Regulator TO-3

Description

LM309K STEEL 5V 1A Voltage Regulator TO-3 The LM309K is a classic, easy-to-use 5-volt regulator designed for local regulation on digital logic cards, such as those using TTL logic. Housed in a robust TO-3 steel power package, it is capable of delivering a consistent output current in excess of 1 ampere to a load. This component effectively solves the problems associated with single-point power regulation by allowing you to place the regulator directly on the circuit board where the power is needed, ensuring stable and noise-free voltage distribution. This regulator is built to be exceptionally durable and user-friendly. It is essentially blowout-proof, featuring internal current limiting to protect against excessive output current and thermal shutdown that activates if the IC begins to overheat, safeguarding the device and the load. A key advantage of the LM309K is its stability and simplicity; it requires no external components for basic operation, though an input bypass capacitor is recommended if the regulator is far from the main power supply filter. While designed as a fixed 5V regulator, its output can be adjusted to higher voltages with external circuitry, leveraging its excellent current-handling and thermal protection features. Features: Designed for local regulation on digital logic cards. Internal thermal overload protection for device safety. Internal current limiting protects against short circuits. No external components required for basic operation. Excellent rejection of load and line transients. Available in a rugged, high-power TO-3 steel package. Simple and straightforward to implement in a circuit.
