<div> <font size="3">All good stuff but a few points of clarification. The LM in LM7805CT will change depending on the manufacturer. You can find L7805 or MC7805 or NCP7805 and others. They will all work. The CT indicates the package, TO220 in this case. You want the same package as what is in there now to avoid some cludge job hooking up a different style part. Also, these parts are current limited. If there is a short down stream the part will not fail, it will limit the current to the short until the die temperature reaches 150 deg C at which point it will reduce the output current and continue in this mode indefinitely. These parts are pretty bullet-proof. About the only way they will fail is too much voltage is applied. As stated the input voltage can be as high as 35 volts but if it is much higher the part will fail. Typical failure mode is a short input to output and this will pass this high voltage on to the rest of the circuit and may cause other failures.</font></div>
<div><font size="3"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I say may because it depends on what else is in the circuit. If there are voltage suppressors and current limiters (fuses) they may protect the rest of the circuit. It depends on what the designer put in there.</font></div>
<div><font size="3"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font size="3">We design and manufacture industrial products that are designed to operate from a 24 Vdc supply. It is not uncommon for users to try to power them off of 120 Vac because that is what the old part being replaced used. It was common enough that I designed a protection circuit that would monitor the input power and only pass it on to the device if it was within the acceptable range. So, instead of getting a room full of smoke the user will find the part not working. When they call in to complain we tell them to use the right power. They do so and the part works as advertised. Result: happy customer. </font><br>

<div dir="ltr">There are a lot of parts that will work there. As previously mentioned it's a 1 amp 5 volt regulator in a TO220 case. (TO220 is the case style with three pins and a heat sink tab with hole for a bolt to attach it to something metal to keep it cool)
<div><br clear="none"></div>
<div>Extremely common and extremely cheap part. Makes nice clean 5V from any input voltage from about 6V to about 35V. Three pins are just "input voltage 6V-35V", "output voltage 5V", and ground.</div>
<div><br clear="none"></div>
<div>Digikey for that voltage and case shows the ubiquitous 7805 as well as compatible variations up to 5A:</div>

<div>Any part designated 7805-anything should work.</div>

<div>It likely blew up because something else shorted, but if the shorting was temporary then it might just need replacing.</div>
<div><br clear="none">Suggestion: Buy a few because they are much cheaper than postage will be, about 50 cents each at Digikey in quantity <10. Solder in a new one and see if it works or blows up again.</div>

<div>If it blows up again, look for shorts around the device and fix those before blowing up another one.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">Repeat until it's working or you lose interest.</div>

<div>Could I use *any* MC7805CT as a replacement, as the first link shows different models of that regulator? Some models of the regulator have variable output as listed in the second link. I suspect the output should stay constant for power, but since the amp output section has the pot on it, was wondering if I should go with the adjustable output regulator or just stick with a fixed output?</div>
