The 7805 Voltage Regulator IC is a standard component used in electronics projects to convert higher DC voltages (e.g., 7V–35V) down to a consistent +5V output. It’s widely used in Arduino, PIC, ESP32, and general purpose 5V power supply circuits.
With built-in short-circuit protection, thermal overload protection, and output transistor safe-area compensation, it ensures safety and reliability in your designs.
Encased in a TO-220 package, the 7805 can handle up to 1A current with a proper heatsink and is easy to mount onto PCBs or heatsink brackets.
