Description
The KA79XX/KA79XXA ser ies of three-terminal negative
regulators are available in TO-220 package and with
sever al fixe d out put vo ltages, maki ng them usefu l in a wide
range of applications. Each type employs internal current
limiting, thermal shutdown and safe operating area
protection, making it essentially indestructible.

Note:
(1) To specify an output voltage, substitute voltage value for "XX "
(2) Require d for stabilit y. F or va lue given, cap ac itor must be solid tanta l um. If alumini um ele ctr onics are us ed, at least ten times
value shown should be selected. CI is required if regulator is located an appreciable distance from power supply filter.
(3) To improve transient response. If large capacitors are used, a high current diode from input to output (1N400l or similar)
should be introduced to protect the device from momentary input short circuit.

The KA79XX/KA79XXA series of three-terminal negative regulators are
available in TO-220 package and with several
fixed output voltages, making
them useful in a wide range of applications. Each type employs internal
current limiting, thermal shutdown and safe operating area protection,
making it essentially indestructible.
Output current in excess of 1A
Output voltages of -5, -6, -8, -9, -10, -12, -15, -18, -24V
Internal thermal overload protection
Short circuit protection
Output Transistor Safe Operating area Compensation
