Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
Fixed negative voltage regulator delivering −12V output at up to 500mA in a surface-mount DPAK package. Features internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe-area compensation for robust operation without external components. Suitable for dual-supply analog circuits and systems requiring isolated negative rails.
Package: TO-252-2 · 3 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
This 3-pin SMD package is difficult to hand-solder due to tight pin spacing and thermal requirements typical of power switching applications. A breakout board breaks out each pin to standard headers, enabling reliable breadboard prototyping and reducing cold-joint risk during development without needing a reflow oven or hot air station.
