TO-220 package.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe MC78T12 is a voltage regulator integrated circuit that is designed to provide a stable output voltage of 12 volts with a maximum current rating of 3 amperes. It is part of the 78xx series of voltage regulators, which are commonly used in electronic circuits to provide a fixed and regulated voltage.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe MC78T12 voltage regulator is a linear regulator, which means that it works by continuously adjusting the resistance of a series pass transistor to maintain a constant output voltage. It is capable of accepting input voltages ranging from 14 volts to 35 volts, and it provides a dropout voltage of approximately 2 volts, meaning that the input voltage must be at least 2 volts higher than the output voltage in order for the regulator to operate properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe MC78T12 voltage regulator also includes a number of built-in protection features, such as thermal shutdown, overvoltage protection, and short-circuit protection, which help to ensure safe and reliable operation in a variety of applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe MC78T12 is commonly used in power supply circuits, battery charging circuits, and other applications where a stable and regulated 12-volt output voltage is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRegulator package: TO-220.\u003cbr\u003eRegulator polarity: Positive.\u003cbr\u003eRegulator maximum current: 3A.\u003cbr\u003eRegulator output voltage: 11.5V, 12.5V.\u003cbr\u003eRegulator input voltage: 12V, 35V.\u003cbr\u003eRegulator input current: 3A.\u003cbr\u003eRegulator type: Linear Monolithic.\u003cbr\u003eactive mount type: Through Hole.\u003cbr\u003eactive connector type: Solder Legs.\u003cbr\u003eactive number of legs: 3.\u003cbr\u003ediameter of leg: 0.8mm.\u003cbr\u003eleg distance: 2.54mm.\u003cbr\u003eactive marking code type: Number code.\u003cbr\u003eunique marking code: MC78T12.\u003cbr\u003eactive case colour: Black.\u003cbr\u003emax temperature: 125°C.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePackage includes: 1x MC78T12 12V 3A Voltage Regulator.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Techexpress NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":39269554585698,"sku":"TXWS2804","price":11.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1907\/5887\/products\/ZV1634-mc78t12-12v-3a-voltage-regulatorImageMain-515_SI49LIMP8B7I.jpg?v=1629823481","url":"https:\/\/www.techexpress.co.nz\/products\/mc78t12-12v-3a-voltage-regulator","provider":"Techexpress NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
