CJ79L12

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

CJ79L12 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 GND power_in Ground / common return for the negative regulator. Also connected to the SOT-89 tab.
2 IN power_in Unregulated negative input voltage. Operating range roughly -14.5 V to -27 V; absolute maximum -35 V. Bypass with ~0.33 µF close to the pin.
3 OUT power_out Regulated -12 V output (±0.5 V at 25 °C). Delivers up to 100 mA (IOM 0.1 A). Bypass with ~0.1 µF close to the pin for transient response.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
cj79l12.step 57 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
cj79l12-etched.step 977 KB You want the part with CJ79L12 already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 266 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 (1 pp, sha256 ff22f0f43dcb07f7, 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).
