Up to 100mA output current
35V maximum input voltage
Internal short-circuit current limiting
Internal thermal overload protection
No external components required in many applications
Hermetic TO-39 metal can with gold-plated leads
Original Motorola manufacture, 1976 date code

Compatibility:
Direct replacement for MC78L15CG and other 78L15 15V 100mA positive regulators in metal-can positions. Cross-references to ECG-951 / NTE951, which are TO-92 plastic parts with the same 15V 100mA rating; check package and pinout before substituting between metal-can and TO-92 versions.
