BA178M12T is listed in the Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators range at ChipApex. The manufacturer field lists Rohm Semiconductor. Its product description is IC REG LINEAR 12V 500MA TO220FP. Review the specifications below when checking this part for your BOM.
The BA178M12T is a fixed-output three-terminal linear voltage regulator from the ROHM BA178M series, designed to provide stable DC voltage from unregulated inputs. It delivers a nominal output of 12V with a maximum continuous current capacity of 0.5A. The device utilizes a TO-252-3 surface-mount package and operates within an ambient temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Electrical specifications include a line regulation of up to 50mV and load regulation of up to 120mV under standard conditions.
Verify the specific suffix 'T' corresponds to the TO-252-3 surface mount package configuration as defined in the official ordering nomenclature. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance standards required for the target assembly process. Ensure the selected part number aligns with the 0.5A current rating variant distinct from the 1A BA178 series.
Select this component for applications requiring a fixed 12V output with moderate current demands up to 0.5A. Consider the TO-252-3 package for surface mount board space constraints. Evaluate thermal dissipation requirements based on the input-to-output voltage differential and ensure adequate heat sinking if operating near maximum power limits.
This regulator belongs to the BA178M series, which offers a comprehensive lineup of fixed output voltages including 5V, 6V, 7V, 8V, 9V, 10V, 12V, 15V, 18V, 20V, and 24V. The series is pin-compatible with other major third-party three-terminal regulators, facilitating direct replacement in existing designs without PCB layout modifications.
