LM138 and LM338 datasheet

Datasheet .pdf 396 KB Shared

Combined datasheet in PDF form covering the LM138 and LM338, 396 KB in size. Both are adjustable positive voltage regulators rated for around 5 A, the LM138 being the wider-temperature grade of the same design. The document should give the pinout, the resistor formula for setting output voltage and thermal limits. Technicians use it when repairing bench supplies and power stages, to verify adjust-pin voltage and confirm resistor values. Check the package and pin order on the actual part, as TO-3 and TO-220 versions differ.
