Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ 25-pack of L7805CV regulators for bulk retro board repairs and restores
  • ✓ Fixed 5V output (4.75-5.25V) at up to 1.5A max current
  • ✓ Wide 35V max input tolerates unregulated retro PSU rails
  • ✓ Built-in current limiting and thermal protection, no external parts needed

Cons

  • ✗ Linear design sheds heat; needs a heatsink near full 1.5A load
  • ✗ 2V dropout requires input to stay ~2V above the 5V output
  • ✗ 1.5A ceiling too low for power-hungry logic boards
  • ✗ TO-220 through-hole only, unsuitable for SMD layouts

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored BOJACK IC L7805CV Voltage Regulator Output 5 V 1.5 A Integrated… using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the power protection category. BOJACK's power protection lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for power protection of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.
