Description
MuRata 5v Switching Regulator 5v for Spectrum 128k “Toast Rack”
A replacement for the cheap inefficient 7805 used in the Spectrum 128k “Toastrack”. This high-efficiency switch mode regulator wastes very little power as heat, so no heatsink connection is required. It mounts directly onto the PCB where the 7805-connector wires are soldered.
- High efficiency 5v 1.5A output
- Short circuit protection
- Over current shutdown
- Over temperature shutdown
- Unmodified for direct-PCB vertical mounting in Toastrack Spectrum.
- Can also be used in the standard Spectrum 48k, but as this version of the MuRata regulator is unmodified it cannot be used on Spectrum 48k Issue2 boards (in a rubber-key case) as the regulator must be horizontally mounted due to space constraints. (See HERE for a version modded for horizontal mounting)
