OOPS!! I knew that but had a brain fart. Now I realize why my  doctor has prescribed dementia med for me 
HI HI. Thanks to all for the suggestions and the wake up call. I have many REGs and may use a 9.6v or 
10v, or better yet as was suggested, just put a 317 in there of which I have couple.

|I ask because you cannot use a 7812 regulator on a 12V (or 13.8V source).  According to the spec sheet, 
the 7812 requires 14.5V to maintain line regulation. Basically the 7812 was not meant for use in an 
application like yours.  It was meant to regulate an input of 15 to 35V down to 12.

| Is the application to eliminate a small battery on the radio for use with an ac mains source or a dc 
12v of the vehicle?

| I know this is a bit off topic but with all the knowledgeable guys here when it comes to some of  the 
new stuff, I hope someone can help.
|
| I have put together a battery eliminator for use of my HT in the car, built into a gutted battery pack. 
I have all the components selected including ferrite beads for the + - leads from the cigar lighter which 
is fused at 2A, fed to a 7812 regulator having in and out capacitors as recommended in the applications 
page from the spec sheet.
|
| It has come to my attention that I could protect the input from EMI RFI and surge by adding a TVS diode 
in the power leads. After studying the wealth of information available on the INET, I am so confused 
about how to choose the appropriate diode. The filters that Mouser lists for selection of a diode have 
left me totally in doubt. I am referring  to the INFINEON brand of  diodes.
|
| Anyone with any experience and advice to share would be greatly appreciated.
