Voltage Regulator - 5V (COM-00107)

OH!! I wanted the bottom row of the table.
Wow 65 IS super hot.
Hmmmm. I don’t want to work with those kind of temps :worried: .

If I chose to work with 9V instead.
0.1 * (9-5) * 50 = 20.
That’s much better.

The 5V from my LM7805 will be riding to this makerverse mono amp.
I pulled this graph from the mono amplifier’s datasheet.

So it looks like I should expect draw anywhere form 50 to 300ma.
That would mean the L7805 can go from 10-60 degrees above room at 9V.

Did I get my math right?
Maybe I should use a small heat sink to be safe?
