I just received from Digi-Key link https://www.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail?Ref=47431&Row=208451&Site=US
2.5V 250ma TO-92 3 pins and I only get 1 volt output from Regulator. I use 4AA batteries. Vin is 5.7v to pin3, ground pin2 and Vout pin1. I tried with 1k and 0.2K load and I still get 1v on Vout pin1. Also I used with and without Capacitors 2.2uf and 0.1uf. What is going on? On chip it says L4931; st 25; yo247. I bought from digikey 10 of these regulators and they are all the same. Please help
Well I just did and reversed regulator. It became very hot as expected. In the first place everything seems to be connected the right way. Anyway the funny thing is that I can't believe that digikey would send me 10 of them and they can be defective and I still can't prove that I'm an idiot and doing something wrong. Any ideas?
Just took a brand new Regulator from the bag, replaced 2.2uf with 10uf and the same thing. 1V output. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh. What's going on?????? Well, I'll be calling DigiKey on Monday.

Well, assuming by datasheet the drop voltage is 0.4 it could be 1.5v voltage regulator but on the chip says ST 25. Anyway I'm going nuts because I really need 2.5 voltage regulator for my project. I need to run 7 led display and Pic chip for ADC. I'll be using one power supply for pic chip, led and adc reference
