Re: IML: Re Voltage Regulator

["Rob van der Es" <r.vdes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have removed the old faulty regulator from my temperature gauge (1960
Imperial) and replaced it by a modern solid state regulator.

I have used the LT1083CP-5, it  delivers a rock steady 5 Volts at 8 Amp.
max. So it has enough reserve to operate the 3 gauges that need the 5
Volts.
In fact, 5 Volt was a little too low, so I added a silicon diode in the
ground wire of the regulator. The output is now 5.6 Volt which is perfect
for my gauges!

All the best,

Robert
