Hi everyone hope you are well.
I've been wiring a couple of my satcans recently and it was a sweet as a nut but then my 12v regulators on 2 different cans I noticed were outputting 10v .Does anyone know why this is?I soldered the tabs to the can.I think maybe I overheated it when soldering.My soldering iron temp is 330 degrees C.When I turn on the power supply I get about 10.7 on the otherside of the regulator then it slowly drops.
