⚙️ How It Works:
The 12V zener diode sets a stable base voltage on the transistor. The transistor 2SC5200 acts as a pass element, regulating the output voltage to ~12V. The 2.2K resistor limits current to the zener.
🔧 Components:
2SC5200 NPN Power Transistor
12V Zener Diode
2.2K Resistor
Input: 19V DC
Output: 12V DC (regulated)
💡 Note: This is a basic linear regulator design. It’s not highly efficient but is very simple and useful for small loads.
