The 5V, 12V, and 15V regulator options are available in the (5V and 12V only)
steel TO-3 power package. The LM340A/LM340/LM7800C LM7800C 5, 8, 12, TO-220 (T)
series is available in the TO-220 plastic power package, and

the LM340-5.0 is available in the SOT-223 package, as well
as the LM340-5.0 and LM340-12 in the surface-mount
TO-263 package.
