Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AP1086D15G-13 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Core Substitution Criteria:

• Output voltage: 1.5V fixed
• Package type: TO-252-3 surface mount
• Input voltage rating: 12V maximum
• Protection features: Over-current and over-temperature protection
• Output configuration: Positive fixed
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 compliant

Two substitute categories exist:

MFR Recommended Substitute: AZ1084CD-1.5TRG1 provides higher output current capability (5A vs. 1.5A) while maintaining identical output voltage, input voltage rating, and package configuration. This part is active in production status.

Parametric Equivalent: AP1086D15L-13 maintains identical electrical specifications and output current rating as the main part, differing only in packaging format (Cut Tape vs. standard packaging) and product status (Active vs. Obsolete).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Identical Specifications): AP1086D15L-13 is the appropriate selection when maintaining exact electrical and current specifications is required. This part is active in production status and available in Cut Tape packaging, eliminating obsolescence concerns while preserving all functional parameters of the original AP1086D15G-13.

For Enhanced Performance Applications: AZ1084CD-1.5TRG1 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute when output current capacity exceeding 1.5A is acceptable or beneficial. This part delivers 5A maximum output current with improved PSRR performance (72dB vs. 60dB at 120Hz) while maintaining identical output voltage and input voltage specifications. The part is active in production status and supplied in Tape & Reel packaging format.

Both substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical thermal operating ranges, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility with the original design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AZ1084CD-1.5TRG1 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for AP1086D15G-13?

A: Yes, from a functional and package perspective. Both parts use the TO-252-3 DPAK package with identical pinout and mounting requirements. The higher current rating (5A vs. 1.5A) does not prevent substitution in circuits designed for 1.5A operation. However, circuit board layout and thermal management design should be reviewed to ensure compatibility with the substitute part's specifications.

Q: What is the difference between AP1086D15G-13 and AP1086D15L-13?

A: These parts are parametrically identical in all electrical specifications, output voltage, current rating, and protection features. The primary differences are product status (Obsolete vs. Active) and packaging format (standard vs. Cut Tape). AP1086D15L-13 is the recommended choice for new designs due to active production status.

Q: Why does AZ1084CD-1.5TRG1 have a higher PSRR rating?

A: PSRR (Power Supply Rejection Ratio) is a performance characteristic that varies by device design. AZ1084CD-1.5TRG1 demonstrates 72dB at 120Hz compared to 60dB for the AP1086D15G-13. This improved specification indicates better rejection of power supply noise and ripple, which may benefit noise-sensitive applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same package?

A: Yes, all three parts use the TO-252-3 DPAK (2 Leads + Tab) surface mount package. Packaging format differs only in supply method: standard packaging for AP1086D15G-13, Tape & Reel for AZ1084CD-1.5TRG1, and Cut Tape for AP1086D15L-13. PCB footprint and mounting requirements remain identical.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these substitute parts?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.
