L7824CV Positive Voltage Regulator 24V 1.5A TO-220
The L7824 is a three-terminal fixed positive linear voltage regulator designed to deliver a regulated 24V output for electronic circuits and power supplies. It is part of the L78 series and is suitable for local on-board voltage regulation where a stable supply is required. The device incorporates internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe-area protection.
For the L7824A version, the datasheet specifies a typical 24V output and an output current capability of up to 1.5A, with adequate thermal management. The L7824 series is available in several package options, including TO-220.
Features:
- Fixed positive voltage regulation.
- Stable regulated DC output.
- Three-terminal regulator design.
- Internal current limiting.
- Thermal overload protection.
- Short-circuit protection.
- Safe-area protection.
- Suitable for local on-card regulation.
- Can be used with external components for specialized regulator configurations.
