I can't see any numbers/symbols on the 5V voltage regulators I got from Mouser. I know the middle one is common/ground but what is input and output? I found an illustration where it looks like the left leg is input, if the metal part of the body is on the back-side..
am I correct?

Re: Voltage regulator legs
You need to go to the mouser site or search on the part itself. Mouser makes data sheets available for most stuff. At the home page, search on the exact mouser number you ordered or LM317, for example. It should bring up a table that has a column with the Acrobat symbol. There might be a page you can pull up and should be a Data Sheet.
Re: Voltage regulator legs
I'll check mouser, but they are exactely the same as the ony you got for your amp, I saw it on your posted pictures, and ordered the same ones..Bob-I wrote:What regulator did you get?Tdale wrote:I can't see any numbers/symbols on the 5V voltage regulators I got from Mouser.

Re: Voltage regulator legs
Hi Tommy:
I'm using Fairchild 7806. Facing the front, left is #1, center is #2 and right is #3.
1=input
2=ground (connected to the tab)
3=output
Good luck
