7806 is a 6V Voltage Regulator that restricts the voltage output to 6V and draws 6V regulated power supply. The 7806 is the most common, as its regulated 6-volt supply provides a convenient power source for most TTL components. 7806 is a series of 78XX voltage regulators (as known as L78xx, LM78xx, MC78xx…), the xx is replaced with two digits, indicating the output voltage (for example, the 7805 has a 5-volt output, while the 7812 produces 12 volts). Applications Circuits requiring steady 6v supply Protection for devices having specific voltage sensitivity DIY projects requiring specific voltage from an existing higher/ varying voltage supply Features Fixed 6V voltage regulators Thermal overload protection Short circuit protection Output transition SOA protection Heatsink is required * Specifications Output Type: Fixed Output Voltage: 6V dC Current Output: up to 1A Input Voltage: 8.3 – 35VDC Quiescent (standby) current: 8mA Dropout Voltage (Max): 2 V @ 1A Category: Linear Voltage Regulators – Standard Polarity: Positive Operating Temperature: 0 to 125°C Mounting Style: Through Hole Pin Spacing Pitch: 2.54mm Hole Diameter: 3.8mm Dimensions: 10.4 x 4.6 x 9.15mm Categories: Voltage Regulator, Voltage Regulator
