Intro: DIY 5V Linear Regulator

This is a 5v linear voltage regulator circuit.Input voltage should not be more then 35V.

STEP 1: Test It on the Breadboard

Parts List :
1) LM7805

2) 100 nF (ceramic capasitor)

3) 10 uF (electrolite capasitor)

4)100 uF (electrolite capasitor)

5)Breadboard (optional)

STEP 2: Connecting the Parts

Now put your LM7805 on your breadboard pin 1 is input voltage pin 2 ground pin 3 is output voltage
positive part of the 10uF capasitor should be connected with pin3 and a 100nF capasitor will connected with this in parallel. Then the positive part of the 100uF capasitor should be connected with pin1. The circuit is done.

For many circuits, you don't even need the capacitors. Those are just necessary for sensitive circuits that need a really steady power supply.

Thanks for your advice its just for taking extra precaution...
