Instructions for Using L7805CV TO220

1. Circuit Connection:

   • Input (VIN): Connect the positive terminal of the input voltage to the "IN" pin.
   • Output (VOUT): Connect the load or circuit requiring regulated 5V to the "OUT" pin.
   • Ground (GND): Connect the negative terminal of the input voltage and the ground of the load to the "GND" pin.

2. Capacitors:

   • Input Capacitor: Place a 0.33 μF ceramic capacitor between the "IN" pin and "GND" as close as possible to the regulator to filter out high-frequency noise.
   • Output Capacitor: Place a 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor between the "OUT" pin and "GND" to stabilize the output voltage and improve transient response.

3. Heat Sink:

   • If the regulator is expected to dissipate more than 1W, consider using a heat sink to prevent overheating. The thermal resistance from the junction to the case (RθJC) is 5°C/W, so a heat sink can significantly reduce the temperature rise.

4. Power Dissipation:

   • Calculate the power dissipation (Pd) using the formula: Pd = (VIN - VOUT) * IOUT.
   • Ensure that the power dissipation does not exceed the maximum allowable value for the package, which is typically around 15W for the TO-220 package with a heat sink.

5. Operating Conditions:

   • Ensure the input voltage is within the specified range (7V to 35V).
   • Do not exceed the maximum output current of 1.5A.
   • Operate the device within the recommended temperature range (-40°C to 125°C).

6. Storage:

   • Store the device in a dry environment within the temperature range of -65°C to 150°C.

7. Handling:

   • Handle the device with care to avoid damage to the pins and the internal components.
   • Use appropriate ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection when handling the device to prevent damage from static electricity.
