Additional Details

The KA78M15RTMNL is a robust and reliable voltage regulator. It is designed with internal current limiting to protect the device from short-circuit conditions. The thermal overload protection shuts down the regulator if the junction temperature exceeds a safe limit. The output transistor safe-area compensation prevents the device from being damaged by excessive power dissipation. This regulator is commonly available in a TO-252 package. The operating temperature range is typically from -40°C to +125°C. The input voltage range is typically up to 35V. It's an excellent choice for applications requiring a stable 15V supply.
