Positive Voltage Regulator 6V-7806

Positive Voltage Regulator 6V-7806 is a high-quality electronic component designed for Arduino, prototyping, and educational electronics. 7806 is a 6V Voltage Regulator that restricts the voltage output to 6V and draws 6V regulated power supply. The 7806 is the most common, as its regulated 6-volt supply provides a convenient power source for most TTL components.

7806 is a series of 78XX voltage regulators (as known as L78xx , LM78xx , MC78xx …), the xx is replaced with two digits, indicating the output voltage (for example, the 7805 has a 5-volt output, while the 7812 produces 12 volts).

Applications
