LM7812CT from HGSEMI, in a TO-220-3. 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 | INPUT | power_in | Unregulated input voltage; absolute maximum 35 V, and for the 12 V part (LM7812C) 14.5 to 27 V keeps the output in regulation at full load range. |
| 2 | OUTPUT | power_out | Regulated 12 V output (11.5 to 12.5 V at TJ = 25°C) delivering up to 1.5 A with internal current limiting and thermal shutdown. |
| 3 | GND | power_in | Ground reference common to input and output. |
