Please help me find: TO-39 type voltage regulators

[JimGore]

Hi,

I am desperately looking for 2 each of the following IC regulators:
* LM317H
* LM337H

These are the seemingly unobtainable TO-39 metal can type which can push through 0.5A

I can obviously retro fit the standard TO220 if no other way can be found, but I prefer not to go that route if possible.

If you know where I can find, or even better - if you have some, please let me know.  I am willing to make it worth your while.

Thanks,
Ian.

Thanks!

I am hoping to find some locally.  It seems a bit of a waste to import such cheap and small little things...

None from RSC or Matech?

i had RS Components import some funny caps once,was not an arm and a leg either.
maybe they can do the same for you.
just take a datasheet with you showing the correct package.

Thanks Guys.  I have tried them all.

I can get the LM117H from RS at a crazy price, but nothing more.

The problem as far as I understand is that they guys are no longer manufacturing the TO-39 package, so if anyone has these it will be in a little plastic box full of dust in the workroom somewhere...

if i may, what are they for?

[JimGore]

I have these on my DAC and they need replacing...

Edit: Only 1 really needs replacing, but while I am busy I will change them all out.

 Just use the TO 220. will be much better.

Ian,

Ouch.
I have a few 'seasoned' colleagues with stuff in dusty drawers. Give me over the weekend to phone up - but don't hold your breath.
