78M12-12V SMD TO-252/DPAK PACKAGE: 0.5A Positive Regulator 7812 [Original]

78M12-12V SMD Positive Voltage Regulator 0.5A (TO-252/DPAK)

The 78M12-12V is a reliable 3-terminal positive voltage regulator, offering a stable 12V output. Designed for local, on-card voltage regulation, it's an ideal choice for various electronic projects. This SMD component, housed in a TO-252 (DPAK) package, delivers up to 0.5A of output current. It incorporates robust internal protection features, including current limiting and thermal shutdown. Safe-area compensation for the internal pass transistor ensures remarkable ruggedness. Enjoy simplified circuit design as no external components are typically required for operation. The 78M12 series provides a cost-effective and efficient solution for power management. It's a direct counterpart to the popular 7800 series, specified for half the output current. Ensure stable and protected power delivery in your embedded systems and DIY electronics. This regulator is perfect for applications needing a fixed 12V supply with moderate current.
