Many small print transformers will give more than their rated voltage when little current is drawn. So in many cases 12 V transformers can also be used. Build the whole circuit and measure at the input of the 7812. You should have little more than 15 V at this point. In fact the 7812 is rated for an input voltage of 14.5 V-35 V. Again, don´t forget that our mains supply can vary between +5% and -10%! | Many small print transformers will give more than their rated voltage when little current is drawn.
