LM317K Adjustable Positive Linear Voltage Regulator IC, 1.5A, TO-3

The LM317K is a highly reliable and widely used adjustable 3-terminal positive voltage regulator. It is designed to supply more than 1.5A of output current with an output voltage adjustable from 1.2V to 37V. This regulator is easy to use and requires only two external resistors to set the output voltage.

• Output Current: 1.5A (minimum)
• Output Voltage Range: 1.2V to 37V
• Input-Output Differential: Up to 40V
• Line Regulation: Typically 0.01%/V
• Load Regulation: Typically 0.1%
• Thermal Overload Protection: Yes
• Short-Circuit Protection: Yes
• Package: TO-3 Metal Can

Typical applications include adjustable power supplies, constant current regulators, battery chargers, and various power management circuits where a stable and adjustable positive voltage is required.
