L7824ABV

Overview

The L7824ABV is a positive linear voltage regulator from the STMicroelectronics L78 series, providing a fixed 24 V output with a maximum current of 1 A. It operates within an input voltage range of 26 V to 35 V and features internal thermal overload protection, short-circuit protection, and safe operating area (SOA) protection. The device utilizes a TO-220FP package for through-hole mounting and supports operation temperatures from 0 °C to +125 °C.

Feature Summary

• Provides local on-card regulation to eliminate single-point regulation issues
• Includes internal thermal shutdown and current limiting for enhanced reliability
• Offers fixed output voltage options ranging from 5 V to 24 V

Applications

• General-purpose power supply circuits requiring stable 24 V rails
• Industrial equipment control systems
• Embedded systems with moderate current demands

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BV' against official STMicroelectronics documentation to confirm exact tolerance and package variations. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required electrical specifications and physical footprint before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 24 V output at up to 1 A is required in a through-hole configuration. Consider the thermal dissipation capabilities of the TO-220FP package relative to the expected load current and ambient temperature conditions.

Part Context

Part of the widely used L78xx family of three-terminal positive linear regulators. This series is known for its robustness and simplicity, serving as a standard solution for basic voltage regulation tasks in various electronic designs.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible replacements include other L7824 variants such as L7824ACD or L7824CDT, provided they meet the same electrical and mechanical requirements.
