6 Volt regulator circuit using 7806

March - 19 - 2008

Description.

Here is the elementary 6V 1A power supply circuit using 7806 IC. The 7806 three-terminal positive voltage regulator is available in the TO-220/D-PAK package making them useful in a wide range of applications. 7806 employs internal current limiting, thermal shut down and safe operating area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If proper heat sinking is provided, it can deliver over 1 ampere output
current.

Circuit Diagram with Parts List .

Pin out of 7806

Notes .

If 2A bridge is not available make one with four 1N 4007 diodes.
Fit a proper heat sink with 7806 if your circuit draws more than 400mA current.

thanks
i just want to know how to control current o/p.
cos i need .5A & .21A o/p, please post the calculations..
thank u

First of all 7806 alone can’t deliver more than 1A. You need extra circuitry to boost the current capability.Using a series pass transistor is a good option.
