Linear Voltage Regulator

Linear Voltage Regulator 7812

The 7812 linear voltage regulator shall be a three-terminal fixed-voltage regulator designed to provide a stable and regulated 12V DC output from a suitable higher DC input voltage. It shall be suitable for electronic power-supply circuits, control systems, embedded applications, laboratory experiments and general-purpose electronic projects requiring a regulated 12V supply.
