Some are three-terminal drop-in replacements for the TO-220       devices.              If you are a hardware hacker (literally), you can cannibalize one from a USB       car charger. Here in Silicon Valley, Fry's Electronics sometimes sells them       for under a dollar. This may not work reliably if your unregulated supply is       over 18V, but should        work fine if it is 15V or less.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
