L78L12ABZ from STMicroelectronics, in a TO-92-3. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | VOUT | power_out | Regulated positive output voltage pin, nominal 12 V (±4% for the A grade), capable of delivering up to 100 mA output current with a 0.1 µF output capacitor recommended. |
| 2 | GND | power_in | Common/ground reference pin for the regulator. |
| 3 | VIN | power_in | Unregulated DC input voltage pin, rated up to 35 V absolute maximum for the 12 V output version, with a 0.33 µF input capacitor recommended if the device is located far from the filter capacitor. |
