Hot-selling and scarce LM140K-5.0 3-Terminal Positive Regulator TO-3 spot stock

Product Descriptions

The LM140K monolithic 3-terminal  positive voltage regulator  employs internal   current-limiting,  thermal shutdown and safe-area compensation, making them essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1. 0A output current. They are intended as fixed voltage regulators 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,  these devices can be used with external  components to obtain adjustable output voltages and currents. 

Considerable effort was expended to make the entire series of  regulators easy to use and minimize the number of external components. It is not necessary to bypass the output,   although this does improve transient response. Input bypassing is needed only if the regulator is located far from the filter capacitor of the power supply.

The LM140K is available in 5V, 12V and 15V options in the steel TO-3 power package.
