find it. Thanks
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

anywayswait.............maybe because it's a LM7812.................it's the one,
try onsemi.com for a sample. I can help you out
if you look at the front with the part number then the first leg to the
left
is + Vin, and the middle leg is Ground(Gnd), and the right leg is +Vout.
The metal tab with the hole in it is GND as well
These devices require that the input voltage be 2 volts higher then the
output, so in your case 14 volts minimum, if you need more current then
use
a T0-220 heat sink for current up to 1.5 amps depending on the part
number,
refer to the data sheet. Your going need a filter cap mounted near the
input, and it can vary in size try 220uF first then increase if you need
to.
If you find that the regulation begins to drift slighly, then increase the
value to 330uf and so on.
On the output pin you can just use a 0.1uf cap, and add a 1uf to 10uf cap
if you need to, it all depends what your application requires. If it's
more
than 500ma then use the 0.1uf and 10uf cap together in parallel on the
output, and mount regulator with the heat sink.
Refer to John D. links book on "DC Power Supplies" it's a good place to
start, if you need answers .......OK.

its a big say 32 pin ic chip in an rca tv. not a simple regulator. Thanks
