Were you able to get 1 amp through it without overheating at that input voltage and with that small heatsink?

[@JaviersDIY]

No sir. If current exist, heat exist also because heat is the output of the circuit.

Good job boss

Is there any way this could be adjusted to put out around 13.5v? I am trying to charge a 12v battery with it.

7812 will only output upto 12v

No sir. The input should be higher than the output voltage

[@adrianvictor2086]

Hi. In the manufacturer's datasheet, the values ​​of the capacitors are 0.33 uF and 0.1 uF (non-electrolytic). You use two 1000uF both electrolytic capacitors. Are you sure it is allowed, or even better? Ty

[@JaviersDIY]

Yes it is allowed since it is just a small circuit

[@asifhasan2142]

Can I use 50v 2.2uF capacitor at both the input and output ends? Please note that I have a 12v battery with more Ampere. I want to take input for the l7812 ic from this 12v battery. Though the battery is already in 12v. But I want to get 12v output with a more assured voltage value of 12v and I want to get limited current flow.

[@JaviersDIY]

Yes sir it's okay to use that capacitor

[@asifhasan2142]

@@JaviersDIY Thank You Sir !

[@wernerpeter9706]

A capacitor of 0.22 uF is recommended at the input and 0.1 uF at the output. This is for stabilization and prevents the voltage regulator from oscillating. The huge electrolytic capacitors here are exaggerated and useless. The voltage regulator is pointless for your use, since it has a 2 V dropout, i.e. to get 12 volts at the output, at least 14 volts must be present at the input. In addition, a voltage regulator, as used here, is not a current limiter. If you want to learn more about the LM7812 (or any other voltage regulator), take a look at the datasheet.

Sir why u use the 25 v capacitor input side and 16 v at output side

The 12volt regulator to work well it needs 12volt+3volt as an Input voltage , so the input voltage should be 15volt>= .! See the data sheet please and correct the mistake. The 3volts or so is the drop voltage on the regulator itself.

[@malinduomantha3467]

[@JaviersDIY]

DC sir

[@farmuelangel6342]

Also no need to put so big capacitors on the output because it is already regulated , the output voltage I mean , just small caps would be great for the spikes on the voltage output. Only big caps in the input if the voltage in is not regulated enough. Of course everything depends of the draw current which should not exceed the maximum of 1 amp unless you put some bypass transistors....!!

What difference does it make if you use capacitors and if you don't use them? Can you tell me what is the job for the capacitors in this project?

[@JaviersDIY]

A capacitor is a two terminal device that store energy in the form of electric field. When voltage is applied to the capacitor, it starts charging. When capacitor is connected to any device such as electric bulb, it starts discharging. So that's the job of the capacitor in my project.
