00:00Okay, so if you've ever been halfway through a build at midnight and realized you're out of
00:043.3 volt regulators, yeah, I've been there too, and it's the worst. So I went digging and rounded
00:10up the 5 best AMS 1117 voltage regulator kits you can actually get right now, with the prices to
00:16match. Let's get into it. First up is the SOT22370 piece kit, and this one's the full spread.
00:24You get 3.3 volt, 5 volt, 2.5, 1.8, 1.5, 1.2, plus the adjustable version, 10
00:32of each.
00:33What I really like here is the consistency, these are clean, properly marked parts that
00:37solder down without any drama on a hotplate or with a regular iron. It's sitting at $29.69,
00:44which is the priciest on this list, but nearly 5,000 people have bought it and it's holding a
00:494.8 rating. If you want a drawer that's stocked for the next two years, this is it. Now, if
00:56that
00:56price made you wince, paragraph 2 is going to make you happy. The 70-piece AMS 1117 kit is $2
01:03.88.
01:05$2.88. Same 7 values, 10 pieces each, same SOT223 package and it's got a perfect 5-star rating
01:14with over 4,800 sold. Honestly, at this price it's basically an impulse buy. Even if you only
01:21ever use the 3.3 volt ones, you've come out ahead. This is the one I'd tell a beginner to
01:27grab first,
01:28no question. Third is a really flexible option, this one lets you choose your quantity,
01:33anywhere from 10 pieces all the way up to 2,500, and it also comes in different packages,
01:39SOT223, 2252, and SOT89. That's the standout feature here. If your board's already laid out for
01:46a 2252 footprint, you're not stuck reworking anything. It's $23.10 depending on the pack you
01:53pick, 5-star rated, and over 4,000 sold. Great pick if you're doing small batch production rather
02:00than one-off projects. Number 4 is another 70-piece SOT223 kit, and this one lands right in the middle
02:07at
02:07$21.04. Seven values, 10 of each, organized in a labeled box so you're not squinting at tiny part
02:14numbers with a magnifier. It's got a 4.9 rating from over 4,000 buyers, which tells you the quality
02:21control is solid. If the $2 kit feels a little too good to be true for you, this is the
02:26safe,
02:27dependable middle ground, reliable parts, sensible price, no surprises. And rounding it out at number 5,
02:34another AMS 1117 assortment covering all the usual values, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2.5, 3.3, 5
02:42-volt and adjustable.
02:44What stands out with this one is the packaging, parts come sorted and sealed by value, so nothing
02:49gets mixed up in transit. It's $24.67, perfect 5-star rating, nearly 4,000 sold. If you've ever dumped
02:59a
02:59bag of unmarked regulators on your bench and had to guess, you'll appreciate what you're paying for
03:03here. All the links are down in the description if you want to check current prices, they move
03:09around a lot. If this helped you out, hit that like button and subscribe, I've got more parts roundups
