How do I use it to regulate 12V?
Connect a series resistor from the higher supply voltage to the diode cathode, with the anode to ground and the load in parallel with the diode. Size the resistor so the diode current stays within its 500mW power rating.
How do I identify the polarity?
The cathode is marked with a band on the glass body. Reverse connection will not regulate the voltage, so check the band before wiring.
