TL431 100mA NPN Regulator SMD Transistors 37V (SOT-23 Package) Pack of 10

TL431 100mA NPN Regulator SMD Transistors 37V (SOT-23 Package) Pack of 10 

The TL431 is a versatile voltage reference and adjustable precision shunt regulator commonly used in various electronic circuits to provide stable and accurate voltage regulation. The TL431 is housed in a small Surface-Mount Device (SMD) package known as SOT-23. This package type offers space-saving benefits and compatibility with modern electronic circuit board designs. It is widely used for its compact size and ease of soldering onto printed circuit boards (PCBs). The TL431 operates as a voltage reference, providing a stable and precise reference voltage (Vref) between its reference pin (REF) and its cathode pin (K). The TL431 functions as an adjustable shunt regulator, maintaining a constant output voltage across its reference and cathode terminals by shunting excess current to the ground. This makes it useful for voltage regulation, voltage monitoring, and overvoltage protection in a wide range of electronic applications. With a typical output voltage accuracy of ±1%, the TL431 ensures precise and stable voltage regulation across a wide range of operating conditions. This level of precision makes it suitable for applications where accurate voltage control is critical, such as in power supplies, battery chargers, and voltage references.
