L7805CV Linear Voltage Regulator
Couldn't load pickup availability
Fixed 5V regulation in a through-hole TO-220 package. L7805CV is a three-terminal positive linear voltage regulator for making a stable 5V rail from a higher DC input in printer electronics, control panels, breadboards, and small repair projects.
Why use this part
- Simple 5V rail: fixed positive regulator output, no trim pot or switching noise to tune.
- TO-220 package: easy to solder, breadboard, bolt down, or heat-sink when the load current and voltage drop demand it.
- Built-in protection: the ST L78 datasheet specifies internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe-area protection.
Specifications
- Part number: L7805CV
- Regulator type: positive fixed linear voltage regulator
- Output voltage: 5V nominal
- Output current: up to 1.5A, subject to heat sinking and power dissipation
- Package: TO-220 / TO-220AB, 3 lead
- Input voltage: L78 datasheet rates the 5V family up to 35V DC absolute maximum; design with thermal margin.
- Typical dropout: about 2V at 1A in the ST L78 datasheet, so it needs input headroom above 5V.
Intended use
- Creating a local 5V logic rail from a higher DC supply.
- Small controller, sensor, LED, relay, breadboard, and repair circuits.
- Printer electronics projects where a quiet, simple linear regulator is preferred over a buck converter.
Gotchas
- This is not an efficient buck converter. The voltage drop times load current turns into heat.
- At higher current, use a proper heat sink and check the power dissipation before putting it in an enclosed printer bay.
- This is a component IC, not a wired plug-and-play 5V power supply.

Shipping:
US Shipping is via UPS or USPS. The way it is set up shows the least expensive options for standard, priority and express shipping. I can not take special requests for specific carriers at this time.
International shipping is mostly UPS, as I utilize Zonos/UPS integration to tally extremely accurate import and shipping costs.
I require a telephone and email with international orders and you must make yourself available to the carrier or your customs, should they require more information. If you are unreachable and the package is discarded or rerturned, I will not be responsible for rerturning your shipping cost.
If there is a problem with an international order, it is my choice to refund part or all of the order, or send a replacement.
Addresses are verified through Shopify, but the customer is still responsible for inputting their address in the correct format. Any returns or lost shipments, due to incorrectly addressed packages, are the responsibility of the customer.
