Description
📦 Description:
The ST L7812CV is a three-terminal positive linear voltage regulator IC that provides a fixed 12V output with a current capacity of up to 1.5A. Packaged in the standard TO-220, it is widely used for converting higher DC voltages (like 15V–30V) to a regulated 12V.
This IC features internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe area protection, ensuring reliable operation even in demanding conditions. It’s suitable for a wide range of electronics projects, embedded systems, and industrial applications.
🧊 Note:
For optimal performance and to prevent overheating, use a TO-220 compatible heat sink with thermal paste or pad.
Product colour may vary slightly depending on batch and availability. Functionality remains the same. (Refer to product image for illustration. Please check the datasheet for exact specifications.)
