#116994 - Natural enemy
Responding to: ???'s previous message

I've been using the 7805 and equivalents since it was brand-new on the market, and never, Never, NEVER had one fail to produce a useable 5-volt regulated supply.

When I was much younger I often repaired hifi amplifiers, video recorders and such stuff. At those days I had to repair two 5V regulators in total. Both became much too hot during their short life time, because cooling management was unproper.

Heat is the natural enemy of electronic chips!
