The L7805CV-DG: ROHS3 compliant per, so it passes the material-restriction check for new builds shipping into EU or UKCA jurisdictions without an exemption review.
5 V rail from a wide input — 1.5 A continuous
Fixed 5 V output at up to 1.5 A continuous, with a maximum input voltage of 35 V. Quiescent current is 8 mA typical — moderate for a linear regulator of this output class. The 62 dB PSRR at 120 Hz attenuates line-frequency ripple from a rectified mains supply, which is the dominant noise source in a transformer-based power stage. Built-in over-temperature and short-circuit protection means the regulator survives a sustained output short or a thermal overload without external crowbar circuitry — the die shuts down and auto-recovers when the junction cools.
TO-220-3 footprint — heatsink-ready through-hole
The TO-220-3 through-hole package (supplier device package TO-220) has a standard 0.100-inch pitch lead frame and a metal tab that can be bolted to a heatsink or chassis. The tab is electrically connected to the output pin — account for isolation if the heatsink is grounded. Supplied in tube packaging, which is the typical handling format for through-hole parts in a pick-and-place or manual assembly line.
Operating temperature range and environment
Rated for 0°C to 125°C operating junction temperature — this covers commercial and most industrial indoor environments. Not specified for extended industrial (-40°C) or automotive temperature grades, so avoid it for engine-bay or cold-start applications.
