L78L12ACZ-AP 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 output voltage pin providing the fixed 12 V output, delivering up to 100 mA when adequate heat-sinking is provided. |
| 2 | GND | power_in | 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. |
