7805 smps
Hi,
I made a circuit I'm going to use in my car which is supplied through a 7805. The input voltage is as high as 14V sometimes and the current it has to deliver goes near 250-300mA. The heatsink reaches 60°C and it is in a closed and tight environment.
Is this safe for the circuit, including the board the heatsink is fixed to and all the wires around it (considering that this temperature could climb when in practical use)?
What's your oppinion?
Thanx
