Frequently Asked Questions
What is the output voltage and current rating of the LM140K-12?
The LM140K-12 provides a fixed 12V regulated output voltage and can supply up to 1A of continuous output current. It features a nominal dropout voltage of 2.5V, meaning the input must be at least 14.5V to maintain regulation.
What is the input voltage range for the LM140K-12?
The LM140K-12 requires a minimum input voltage of 14.5V and can withstand a maximum input voltage of 35V absolute. Operating within this range ensures stable 12V output with 0.03% line regulation.
What package does the LM140K-12 use and how does it affect thermal performance?
The LM140K-12 uses a TO-3 metal can package (JESD-30 code O-MBFM-P2), which provides excellent thermal conductivity. This package allows effective heat sinking, making it suitable for high-power applications requiring sustained 1A output in industrial and audio equipment.
What are common applications for the LM140K-12?
Common applications include industrial power supplies, audio amplifier bias rails, precision analog instrumentation, and legacy embedded systems needing a stable 12V regulated source. Its fixed output and robust protection features simplify design in noise-sensitive environments.
Are there drop-in replacements or alternatives for the LM140K-12?
The LM7812 series and LM340-12 are functionally equivalent alternatives offering the same 12V fixed output. For modern designs, low-dropout regulators like the LM1117-12 can replace the LM140K-12 with improved efficiency, though package conversion may be required.
