Replacement for LM 6805-A

Mar 25, 2015 3 Replies

Hello, I am looking for a replacement for a LM 6805-A. My shredder broke down and the board has this particular piece who had fallen off. I am trying to buy a new one, but I can't find the specs or anything at all about this part. Do you know where can I find this part (LM 6805-A) or what can I use as a equivalent? Thank you for the help.


** I doubt that number is correct.

If it fell off a PCB it must be a SIL (single in line pin) part.

Check that number and say what type of pack it is in.

Oddly enough, Bill Sloman has heard of them:

Probably a typo. I think the OP may be looking for an LM7805, though.

The LM6805 is a pretty "standard" 3-pins 5V regulator. The A-types accuracy is slightly better then "standard". Small amounts are for sale at Farnell.

Suppose any 7805 will do as long as its accuracy is not too bad. I wonder how the regulator (TO220 package) ever fell from the board. Or does is has a SMD-package I don't know about?
