78D12G-TN3-R

UTC Unisonic Tech · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · TO-252-2(DPAK)

78D12G-TN3-R from UTC Unisonic Tech, in a TO-252-2(DPAK). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 INPUT power_in Unregulated input voltage to the regulator, with an absolute maximum rating of 35 V and a recommended bypass capacitor CI = 0.33 µF placed as close to the regulator as possible.
2 GND power_in Ground (common) reference pin for the regulator, shared by the input and output return paths.
3 OUTPUT power_out Regulated fixed output voltage (12 V for the 78D12 part) with output current up to 0.5 A, with a recommended output capacitor CO = 0.1 µF for stability and transient response.
