The PB137 is a positive voltage regulator able to
provide 1.5A, at VOUT=13.7V and is intended as
a charger for lead acid battery. The main feature
is a reverse leakage current (Max 10µAatT

available in TO-220 and it employs internal
current limiting, thermal shut-down and safe area
protection, making it essentially indestructible. If
adequate heat-sinking is provided, they can
deliverover 1A outputcurrent.
