L78L12ACZ

STMicroelectronics · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · TO-92-3

L78L12ACZ from STMicroelectronics, in a TO-92-3. 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 VOUT power_out Regulated 12 V output; 11.5 V min / 12 V typ / 12.5 V max at TJ = 25 °C, IO = 1-40 mA (±4 % AC grade); maximum output current 100 mA.
2 GND power_in Ground reference pin; common return for input and output.
3 VIN power_in Unregulated DC input; operating range 14.5 V to 27 V (IO = 1-40 mA); absolute maximum 35 V (VO = 12-15 V devices).
