How to make a stable 12V, 12 amp power supply using BD712 transistor | LM7812

High output current fixed 12V Regulator.

It is a 12V Voltage Regulator power supply. This is the circuit diagram. In this circuit, an input positive voltage of 24V is used with an output positive voltage of 12V. This power supply can drive positive 12v, 12amp(max), and 75-watt(max) devices. It can be used as a 75-watt (max) device. This power supply uses a voltage regulator LM7812 and BD712 PNP Transistor. DC to DC voltage can be converted through this circuit. This is called a stop-down positive power supply.
