#178441 - Fairchild was the original manufacturer Responding to: ???'s previous message |
For that reason, I would first rely on Fairchild's datasheet. In the days when this number was released, it was customary for "second-source" manufacturers to duplicate the orignal device precisely and to change the part number if they added any "enhancements."
NSC, among others, second-sourced this device, but the ones I have on hand are Fairchild, which leads me to believe I have the physical datasheet somewhere. NSC also made a 10-amp version, the LM78P05K. Note that the K is the TO-3 package designation. The LM prefix indicates it's a National Semiconductor part, just as the uA prefix indicates it's from Fairchild. RE |
