5 V 1.5 A positive linear voltage regulator with 2% output tolerance, thermal overload and short-circuit protection, in TO-220. Manufacturer status: active. The L7805 is the archetypal 5 V rail: built-in thermal and short-circuit protection makes it nearly indestructible in the field, which is why it remains the default choice for simple, robust 5 V supplies. Selection advice: the CV suffix denotes this package and grade configuration — the L78 family spans many output voltages and packages that are not interchangeable, so match the full L7805CV code to your footprint. At 1.5 A with a large dropout, heatsinking is mandatory — verify your thermal design, or choose a switching regulator where efficiency matters. State quantity, packing and date-code requirements in your RFQ; we reconfirm the offered lot before quotation and reply within 24 hours.
L7805CV is a Linear voltage regulator from STMicroelectronics, orderable in the TO-220 package. The ordering code fixes the exact configuration you receive — package, grade and packing — so procurement starts with matching this code character-for-character against your BOM, not just the base series name.
When you request a quote, include the full ordering code, the target packing format (reel, tube, tray or cut tape), your quantity and any date-code or lot requirements. We reconfirm manufacturer, suffix, package, date code and traceability against the actual offered lot before any commercial quote is issued, and every RFQ gets a reply within 24 hours.

Browse existing catalog records — same series first, then the same category and manufacturer. These are not confirmed replacements; compatibility requires engineering review.

Every suffix in a manufacturer ordering code identifies one exact orderable device — package, temperature grade, packing format or a revision. L7805CV names the TO-220 configuration; a code that differs by even one suffix character may be a different device. Always quote the complete code exactly as it appears on your BOM.
The package (TO-220) is the physical form of the device itself. Packing describes how the devices are delivered — reel, tube, tray or cut tape. The same ordering code can ship in different packing formats depending on the lot, so confirm the required packing format when you submit your RFQ.
Traceability evidence — lot and date-code information, labels and photos — is confirmed per lot at quotation time, because it depends on the actual lot offered. Tell us which documents your receiving inspection requires when you submit the RFQ, and we will confirm what can be provided for the offered lot.
Add L7805CV to your RFQ with the complete ordering code, the manufacturer (STMicroelectronics), your quantity, the target packing format and any date-code requirements. We reply to every RFQ within 24 hours.
