L78M12ABDT

Tokmas · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · TO-252-2(DPAK)

L78M12ABDT from Tokmas, in a TO-252-2(DPAK). 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 is 35 V for Vo = 5 V to 18 V and 40 V for Vo = 24 V.
2 GND power_in Ground reference; the heatsink surface is internally connected to this pin.
3 OUTPUT power_out Regulated 12 V output with output current up to 1.5 A, protected by thermal overload, short-circuit and output transistor SOA protection.
