Thanks for that pointer! When I searched Digikey, I wasn't able to find anything that was in the 3-lead TO-220 case. I will definitely check out the Murata units, as I suspect they perform better than this one.

Thanks for this. I've seen something similar from Murata :

Since they're a mainstream supplier of inductors they may have managed
better performance - it would be interesting to compare.

I found a cute little switching regulator that's a drop-in replacement for
an LM7805: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261243604047

I got a couple to play with, mainly to see how bad the noise would be.
Here are spectrum analyzer and PN shots comparing a cheap surplus OCXO when
driven by a regular 7805 and by the switching replacement.

The switching frequency is supposed to be 2 MHz but you can see that it's
more like 2.4 MHz.  Whether this performance is sufficient for any
application is up to you.  It sure runs a lot cooler than a 7805, though!
