can we use 7805 regulator in a circuit that work 24 hours a day?
As long as it's properly heat sunk, and operating well within its operating limits.can we use 7805 regulator in a circuit that work 24 hours a day?
Agree.As long as it's properly heat sunk, and operating well within its operating limits.
If so, it will quite likely operate for the life of the circuit.
Nearly all electronic components can be operated continuously, 24/7/365, provided they are operated within their Absolute Maximum Ratings as stated on the data sheet. Always consult the data sheet.can we use 7805 regulator in a circuit that work 24 hours a day?
Yes, if you also do the required calculations to ensure the thermal operating range, and output current based on that range is adequate for your needs.can we use 7805 regulator in a circuit that work 24 hours a day?
INDEED! When used within their ratings these devices will last a very long time.I have outside on the field devices with 7812 which are running for 15 years 24/24 7/7 365/365 ! Joël
Usually, there will be outages because of end of life of capacitors before 78XX will get damaged.INDEED! When used within their ratings these devices will last a very long time.
Certainly this is true. Aluminum capacitors seem to have the shortest life of the many types available.Usually, there will be outages because of end of life of capacitors before 78XX will get damaged.
