DWD7918 -18V 1.5A Voltage Regulator – TO-252 | WXDH

WXDH

The 79XX Negative Voltage Regulator series from WXDH is engineered to provide stable and precise fixed negative output voltages, ranging from -5V to -18V. These regulators are essential for applications requiring dual power supplies, particularly in analog and signal processing circuits.

Featuring built-in thermal overload protection, short-circuit protection, and safe operating area control, the 79XX series ensures reliable performance and enhanced device safety. The regulators maintain excellent line and load regulation, delivering consistent negative output even under varying operating conditions.

With output current capability up to 1.5A, these devices are suitable for a wide range of medium-power applications. Offered in TO-220 and TO-252 (DPAK) packages, they support both traditional and compact PCB designs.

The 79XX series is commonly used in dual power supply systems, audio amplifiers, instrumentation, industrial control systems, and other applications where stable negative voltage rails are required.
