LM7818 Description
LM7818 is a TO-220 Package positive voltage regulator IC. It is an IC of LM78xx series. This IC is manufactured by many electronic component manufactures therefore it can be easily found. Some manufacturers make it with the output current of 1A and some with 1.5A therefore it should be confirmed before purchase so that you will get it with the required output current.
A heatsink is essential to use with the IC during operation without heatsink the IC will not work properly because the built in overheat shutdown function will continuously make the IC shutdown after few second of connecting the load.
