Linear Voltage Regulators, Fixed, 7.5V To 35V In, 5V And 1A Out, TO-220-3 - 

LM340T-5.0/NOPB is a 3-terminal positive fixed voltage regulator. It employs internal current-limiting, thermal shutdown and safe-area compensation, making essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, this regulator can deliver over 1A output current. This regulator is intended as fixed voltage regulator of 5V in a wide range of applications including local (on-card) regulation for elimination of noise and distribution problems associated with single-point regulation. In addition to use as fixed voltage regulators, this device can be used with external components to obtain adjustable output voltages and currents. Considerable effort was expended to make the regulator easy to use and minimize the number of external components. Suitable for industrial power supplies, SMPS post regulation, HVAC systems, AC inverters, test and measurement equipment, brushed and brushless DC motor drivers, solar energy string inverters applications.
