LM7824ACT

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

The LM7824ACT is a three-terminal positive linear voltage regulator manufactured by onsemi. It provides a fixed 24 V output with a maximum output current of 1 A, though it can deliver over 1 A with adequate heat sinking. The device operates within an input voltage range of 30 V to 38 V and supports a maximum input voltage of 40 V. It features internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe operating area protection. The component is housed in a TO-220-3 through-hole package and functions reliably across a junction temperature range of 0°C to +125°C.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ACT' against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm pinout and packaging details. Confirm availability status as the component may be discontinued or subject to limited supply. Ensure the procurement channel provides genuine parts with traceable documentation to avoid counterfeit components.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Selection Notes

Select this regulator when a fixed 24 V output is required with up to 1 A load capacity. Consider the TO-220-3 package for through-hole mounting and adequate thermal dissipation. Verify that the input voltage remains within the specified 30 V to 38 V range to ensure proper regulation and prevent damage.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Part Context

The LM7824ACT belongs to the LM78XX series of three-terminal positive voltage regulators from onsemi. This family offers various fixed output voltages in the TO-220 package. The series is designed for wide-ranging applications due to its internal protections and ability to deliver high output currents with external heat sinking.
