An adjustable, breadboard friendly drop in replacement for overheating 3-pin linear regulators. 0.8V to 6V output voltage

An adjustable 1A switch-mode voltage regulator, high-efficiency replacement for three-terminal linear regulators.

This is an adjustable 1A switch-mode voltage regulator in the same size as our popular PSU2-3 and PSU3-5 regulators. It is a high-efficiency replacement for popular three-terminal linear regulators. It is pin-to-pin compatible with the common LM7805 linear regulators. The maximum output is 1A of continuous current. It is a true drop in replacement for TO-220 sized regulators. A small potentiometer allows the output voltage to be adjusted between 0.8V and 6V.

• All the required capacitors are included on the module, no external capacitors are required.
• No heatsink required, even at 1A continuous.
• The output voltage guaranteed to be within +/-1% of the adjusted value.
• The module has thermal shutdown and current limit protection.
• Definitely no heatsink required.
• The board is small in size and breadboard friendly, making it an ideal solutions for breadboard prototyping.
• Red solder mask to distinguish it from our 5V and 3.3V regulators.

Features:

• Drop-in replacement of 3-terminal LM7805 or equivalent linear voltage regulator.
• Guaranteed 1A output current
• Wide input voltage range up to 4.5V to 17V
• High efficiency, greater than 70% for loads greater than 1mA, peak efficiency achieved of 90% at 300mA load current.
