L7824

STMicroelectronics · Linear Regulator (LDO) · TO-220

The L7824 is a three-terminal fixed positive-voltage regulator from ST's L78xx (7800) series, delivering a stable 24 V output at up to 1.5 A with adequate heat sinking, needing only input and output capacitors.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 INPUT power_in Unregulated DC input voltage. Absolute maximum V_I = 35 V (for V_O = 5 to 18 V variants) or 40 V (for 20/24 V variants). A 0.33 uF ceramic input capacitor is recommended close to the pin for stability.
2 GROUND power_in Common ground reference. Also serves as the thermal path via the mounting tab on TO-220/TO-220FP/DPAK/D2PAK packages (tab is electrically connected to GROUND).
3 OUTPUT power_out Regulated +24 V DC output, up to 1.5 A with adequate heatsinking. Requires a 0.1 uF output capacitor for transient response; internally current-limited and thermally protected.
