CJ78L12

Changjing · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-89-3L

CJ78L12 from Changjing, in a SOT-89-3L. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 OUT power_out Regulated +12 V output. Delivers up to 100 mA (0.1 A max). A 0.1 μF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND close to the pin is recommended for transient response and stability.
2 GND power_in Common ground reference for both input and output. The SOT-89 tab is connected to this pin and acts as the thermal path to the PCB.
3 IN power_in Unregulated input supply. Absolute maximum 35 V; must exceed VO by at least the dropout voltage (~1.7 V typ). A 0.33 μF input bypass capacitor to GND close to the pin is recommended.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
cj78l12.step 57 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
cj78l12-etched.step 1011 KB You want the part with CJ78L12 already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 273 faces against 42 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: Changjing datasheet (2 pp, sha256 61a9aa2702ef7efa, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: lcsc)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
  • CAD: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0).
