Engineering Selection Recommendations

AP1086D25L-13 serves as a parametric equivalent to the AP1086D25G-13. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, output current rating, and thermal characteristics. The primary distinction is packaging format: AP1086D25L-13 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) configuration versus bulk packaging for the main part. Both parts carry obsolete product status and ROHS3 compliance. This substitute is suitable for direct replacement in applications requiring the same 1.5A output current specification.

AZ1084CD-2.5TRG1 is the manufacturer-recommended alternative, offering enhanced performance characteristics while maintaining full package and voltage compatibility. This part delivers 5A output current compared to the 1.5A rating of the main part, providing increased current capacity within the same TO-252-3 package footprint. The AZ1084CD-2.5TRG1 features improved PSRR performance (72dB versus 60dB at 120Hz) and maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance. This substitute is appropriate for applications where higher current delivery or improved noise rejection is beneficial, or where long-term supply continuity is required due to active product status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AP1086D25L-13 be used as a direct replacement for AP1086D25G-13?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications, output voltage, current rating, dropout voltage, quiescent current, and PSRR characteristics. The difference is packaging format (Cut Tape versus bulk). Both are ROHS3 compliant and operate across 0°C to 125°C. Direct substitution is valid from an electrical and thermal standpoint.

Q: What is the primary advantage of AZ1084CD-2.5TRG1 over the original AP1086D25G-13?

A: The AZ1084CD-2.5TRG1 provides 5A output current capacity compared to 1.5A in the original part, within the same TO-252-3 package. It also offers superior PSRR performance (72dB versus 60dB at 120Hz) and maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and support.

Q: Are all three parts pin-compatible?

A: Yes. All three parts use the TO-252-3 package (DPAK with 2 Leads + Tab, SC-63 designation), ensuring mechanical and electrical pin compatibility on the PCB.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. AP1086D25L-13 and AZ1084CD-2.5TRG1 are both ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8542.39.0001) classifications as the original part.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: AZ1084CD-2.5TRG1 is recommended for new designs due to its active product status, higher current capacity, and improved performance characteristics. This ensures long-term supply availability and design flexibility.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape (CT) and Tape & Reel (TR) packaging?

A: Cut Tape (CT) packaging is supplied in individual strips suitable for manual or small-scale assembly. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is supplied on continuous reels optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly in high-volume production. Both formats contain the same component; the difference is in handling and assembly methodology.
