Description:
The Kia 7808A is a three-terminal positive voltage regulator that delivers a steady 8V output. Moreover, it functions as a fixed linear regulator, making it reliable for consistent power supply. Manufactured by KEC (Korea Electronics Co.) under the part number KIA7808A, it ensures dependable performance in various applications. Additionally, it works as a functional equivalent to other 7808 series regulators, so users can easily integrate it into different electronic projects without compatibility concerns.
Specifications:
- Output voltage: The device is designed to provide a fixed, regulated positive 8V output.
- Output current: With an appropriate heat sink, the regulator can deliver an output current of up to 1.5A.
- Input voltage: The input voltage must be higher than the regulated output, with a typical operating range of 10V to 35V DC.
- Built-in protections: It includes internal safety features that make it essentially indestructible under normal use. These features include:
- Internal thermal overload protection
- Internal short-circuit current limiting
- Package: The 7808 is most commonly found in a TO-220 package, which is a standard three-lead transistor package for through-hole mounting.
Pin configuration:
The pinout for the 7808 regulator is standard for the 78xx series:
- Pin 1: Input voltage (Input)
- Pin 2: Ground (GND), also connected to the mounting tab
- Pin 3: Regulated output voltage (Output)
Applications:
The 7808A regulator is a general-purpose integrated circuit, and therefore it finds use in a wide variety of electronics applications. Moreover, engineers often rely on it in power supply designs, and they also apply it in embedded systems to ensure a stable 8V output.
