KA7824AETU

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Overview

The KA7824AETU is a three-terminal positive voltage regulator from the KA78XXAE series, manufactured by onsemi. It provides a fixed output voltage of 24 V with a tolerance of ±2% at 25°C and supports an output current up to 1 A. The device operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +125°C and utilizes a TO-220 (Dual Gauge) package. Electrical characteristics include a maximum line regulation of 240 mV and load regulation of 100 mV. It incorporates internal thermal overload protection, short-circuit protection, and safe operating area protection.
