Additional Details

The KA78M05R is a three-terminal regulator suitable for various applications where a stable 5V supply is needed. The device includes built-in thermal overload protection which will shut down the regulator if the junction temperature exceeds the limit and Short Circuit current limiting to protect against short circuits. The 'R' suffix usually implies a different package type. Common package styles are TO-220, TO-252 or D-PAK. Check the datasheet for exact pinout and electrical characteristics.
