MC78M05CTG

onsemi

MC78M05CTG is an onsemi 500 mA 5 V linear regulator in TO-220 — for on-card regulation in industrial and consumer equipment. Fixed 5 V ±4%, up to 35 V input, internal current limit and thermal shutdown, 2 V dropout, no external components required. Heat evidence: onsemi broad-range October 2026 pricing actions cover the linear regulator portfolio — the 78M05 remains an industrial power BOM staple with active distributor stock. Selection advice: the CTG suffix is TO-220 tube — the half-current sibling of the MC7805 (1 A); for SMT use the D2PAK MC78M05CDTRK. Parameters verified against distributor and onsemi documentation. State quantity, packing and date-code requirements in your RFQ; we reconfirm the offered lot before quotation and reply within 24 hours.

SELECTION GUIDANCE

MC78M05CTG selection guidance

MC78M05CTG is a 500mA 5V linear regulator from onsemi, 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.

COMMON QUESTIONS

MC78M05CTG FAQ

What do the suffixes in MC78M05CTG mean?

Every suffix in a manufacturer ordering code identifies one exact orderable device — package, temperature grade, packing format or a revision. MC78M05CTG 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.

What is the difference between package and packing for MC78M05CTG?

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.

Can you provide traceability documents for MC78M05CTG?

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.

How do I request a quotation for MC78M05CTG?

Add MC78M05CTG to your RFQ with the complete ordering code, the manufacturer (onsemi), your quantity, the target packing format and any date-code requirements. We reply to every RFQ within 24 hours.
