78L12K

Shikues · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-89

78L12K from Shikues, in a SOT-89. 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 OUT power_out Regulated output terminal of the 78L12K, which delivers 12 V nominal at a maximum output current of 0.1 A.
2 GND power_in Common ground reference terminal for the regulator.
3 IN power_in Unregulated input terminal; the 78L09K~78L15K series has an absolute maximum input voltage (VI) of 35 V.
