Standard Regulator Pos 1.2V to 32V 5A 3-Pin(2+Tab) TO-3 Tray
Detailed Description
Keep calm and stay stable by implementing this standard LM338K STEEL linear regulator developed by Texas Instruments. This device has a maximum power dissipation of 50000 mW. This voltage regulation device's single output can produce a current up to 5 A. Supply your circuit with sufficient power by implementing this, which requires a minimum input voltage of 4.2 V that does not exceed 40 V. With an adjustable output that has a voltage of 1.2 to 32 V, this is power management at its best. Using a load regulation of 0.5% and line regulation of 0.03%/V is needed for a programmable DC power supply. Its maximum power dissipation is 50000 mW. The item will be shipped in tray orientation. Its polarity is positive. This voltage regulation device has a minimum operating temperature of 0 °C and a maximum of 125 °C.
