MC7812BD2TR4G from onsemi, in a TO-263-2. 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 | Vin | power_in | Unregulated positive input voltage. For MC7812 the input must be at least ~2.0 V above VOUT (i.e. ≥14 V) and no greater than the 35 Vdc absolute maximum. A 0.33 µF input bypass capacitor (Cin) is required if the regulator is located an appreciable distance from the power-supply filter. |
| 2 | GND | power_in | Common ground reference for both input and output. Also internally connected to the exposed heatsink tab (terminal 4 in the case outline drawing) for thermal dissipation to the PCB copper pour. |
| 3 | Vout | power_out | Regulated +12 V output, 1.0 A continuous (2.2 A peak). Output capacitor CO is not required for stability but improves transient response; values below 0.1 µF can cause instability. Typical output noise 10 µV/V0 (10 Hz-100 kHz). |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 550 faces against 79 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.
