Description:
The LM338K adjustable voltage regulator offers robust performance and flexibility, delivering output voltages from 1.2V to 32V with a current capacity of up to 5A. Designed in a TO-3 metal package, it is ideal for applications requiring a durable, high-current linear solution. This regulator is suitable for both commercial and industrial environments, where reliability is essential.
Unlike fixed regulators, the LM338K adjustable voltage regulator provides user-defined output by varying the resistance between its adjust and output terminals. As a result, it becomes highly effective in power supplies, battery chargers, and motor control circuits. Additionally, it features internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe-area compensation to enhance safety and stability.
Due to its TO-3 metal can package, the regulator excels in heat dissipation, making it ideal for mounting on heat sinks in demanding environments. Moreover, its ability to maintain regulation even under varying load conditions further underscores its reliability in high-power setups. It’s widely preferred by engineers and hobbyists for its versatility and rugged construction.
This pack includes five LM338K regulators, perfect for projects that require multiple voltage rails or spares for future use. Overall, this component stands out among 5A voltage regulators due to its adjustable output, ease of use, and long-term dependability.
