Product Summary

The 78M24 is a three-terminal positive regulator. It is available in TO-220, TO-220FP, DPAK and IPAK packages and with several fixed output voltages, making it useful in a wide range of applications. The 78M24 can provide local on-card regulation, eliminating the distribution problems associated with single point regulation. Each type employs internal current limiting, thermal shut-down and safe area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, the 78M24 can deliver over 0.5A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, the 78M24 can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltage and currents.
