I just got my order from Makerbot with smd 2.3 pcb (belgian customs took ages). I also got my order from Mouser for the electronics. There is however 1 component that Mouser didn't ship, and there is a factory lead time of 25 weeks. Several other companies (like farnell) are all out of stock of this component:

The MC7805CDTRKG / 5V 1A voltage regulator with DPAK casing (7805TD)

I see there exist similar components, but I don't know to look for which specs are required, and which are optional. The reprap parts-lister is not descriptive on that. I'm a newbie in electronics. Could anyone help me out with alternatives?

thanks

Any of the 7805 in a DPAK should work.
