LM7812 12V Linear Positive Voltage Regulator IC – Pack of 3

LM7812 12V Linear Positive Voltage Regulator IC is a type of self-contained fixed linear voltage regulator integrated circuit. The IC belongs to ic 78xx voltage regulator family. The 7812 voltage regulator IC is ease-of-use and available in very low cost. The last two digits of 7812 indicates the output voltage that is 12 V.

The ic 7812 is a positive voltage regulator which means that it generates the positive voltage with respect to the common ground. In case if both the positive and negative voltage supply is needed in the same circuit. The voltage regulator ic 7812 is combined with its corresponding 79XX family IC that is 7912 IC.

The ic 7812 Voltage regulators do operate at their optimal capability, if the input voltage is at least 2.5 volt greater than the output voltage (i.e 14.5 V min.) and the current is 1 or 1.5 Amperes more. Though the voltage and current difference is different for other IC Packages.
