AP130-15YG-13 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AP130-15YG-13 is a linear voltage regulator IC from Diodes Incorporated designed for positive fixed 1.5V output applications. This Surface Mount device in SOT-89-3 package delivers 300mA output current with integrated protection features including over-current, over-temperature, and short-circuit protection. The part is currently in Active product status with 2740 units available in stock. Substitute parts are necessary when the primary packaging format (Tape & Reel) is unavailable or when alternative sourcing is required while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The AP130-15YG-13 has one parametric equivalent substitute: AP130-15YL-13. Both parts share identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility criteria:

Key Parameters for Substitution:

• Fixed output voltage: 1.5V
• Output current capacity: 300mA
• Maximum input voltage: 5.5V
• Voltage dropout: 0.5V @ 300mA
• Quiescent current: 100 µA
• PSRR: 58dB (100Hz)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Package: TO-243AA (SOT-89-3)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Protection features: Over Current, Over Temperature, Short Circuit

The substitution is valid based on matching all electrical performance parameters and identical physical packaging specifications. The difference between these parts is limited to packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) and product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

AP130-15YG-13 (Primary Selection): This part is the recommended choice for new designs and production orders. It maintains Active product status with established supply availability (2740 units in stock) and is packaged in Tape & Reel format suitable for automated assembly processes. Full ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status confirm regulatory alignment.

AP130-15YL-13 (Substitute Selection): This part is electrically and mechanically identical to the primary part but carries Obsolete product status. It is supplied in Cut Tape packaging format. Selection of this substitute should be limited to applications where Tape & Reel format is unavailable and Cut Tape packaging is acceptable for the assembly process. Regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected) remains equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AP130-15YL-13 be used as a direct replacement for AP130-15YG-13?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with matching output voltage (1.5V), output current (300mA), input voltage rating (5.5V max), voltage dropout (0.5V @ 300mA), quiescent current (100 µA), PSRR (58dB @ 100Hz), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), and package specification (TO-243AA SOT-89-3). The only differences are packaging format and product status.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, optimized for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape packaging supplies the same components on shorter tape segments, typically used for lower-volume orders or manual assembly processes. Both formats use identical component specifications and physical dimensions.

Q: Why is AP130-15YL-13 marked as Obsolete?

A: Product status reflects manufacturer lifecycle classification. Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. However, electrical and mechanical specifications remain valid for applications requiring this specific voltage and current rating.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating is 1 (Unlimited) for both parts, indicating no special moisture handling requirements.

Q: Which part should be selected for new production designs?

A: AP130-15YG-13 is the appropriate selection for new designs due to Active product status and established supply chain availability. AP130-15YL-13 should be considered only when AP130-15YG-13 is unavailable and Cut Tape packaging is compatible with the assembly process.
