STMicroelectronicsL 7812 CV ST

The STMicroelectronics L7812CV Positive Linear Regulator 12V 1.5A TO-220 is a fixed 12V positive L78-series linear regulator with output current up to 1.5A and integrated protection.

Technical description

The L7812CV provides a fixed positive 12V output in TO-220. The L78 series integrates current limiting, thermal shutdown and output-transistor safe-area protection.

Indicative applications

12V regulated supplies, analog/control circuits, post-regulation and power-supply repair.

Compatibility note

For replacement, verify output polarity and nominal voltage, package and pinout, allowable input voltage and required heatsinking. Available output current depends on input-output differential and thermal conditions.
