Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AP1084D50L-13 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The primary substitution criteria are:

• Fixed output voltage of 5V
• Output current rating of 5A
• Maximum input voltage of 12V
• Voltage dropout specification of 1.4V @ 5A
• Quiescent current of 10 mA
• Operating temperature range of 0°C ~ 125°C
• TO-252-3 package compatibility
• Surface mount configuration
• Over-current and over-temperature protection

The AP1084D50G-13 qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on identical electrical specifications and package requirements. The primary distinction is packaging format: the substitute part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration versus the original part's standard packaging.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AP1084D50G-13 is a direct parametric equivalent to the AP1084D50L-13. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance specifications, thermal characteristics, and protection features. The substitute part carries equivalent ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment.

Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply requirements. The AP1084D50G-13 in Tape & Reel format is suitable for high-volume automated assembly processes, while the original part's standard packaging may be preferred for lower-volume or manual assembly operations. Both parts are classified as obsolete, indicating that long-term availability through standard distribution channels may be limited.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AP1084D50G-13 be used as a direct replacement for AP1084D50L-13?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametrically equivalent with identical electrical specifications, output voltage, current rating, thermal performance, and protection features. The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus standard packaging).

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts deliver 5V fixed output at 5A maximum current, maintain 1.4V maximum dropout at rated current, and operate across the same temperature range with identical quiescent current specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference?

A: The AP1084D50G-13 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. The original AP1084D50L-13 uses standard packaging. This distinction affects supply chain logistics and assembly process compatibility, not electrical performance.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting equivalent environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Why is the AP1084D50L-13 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production by the manufacturer. This necessitates identification of equivalent alternatives for design continuity and production support.
