AP130-25SAG-7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AP130-25SAG-7 is a linear voltage regulator IC from Diodes Incorporated designed for positive fixed output applications. This Surface Mount device delivers 300mA output current at a fixed 2.5V output voltage with a maximum dropout voltage of 0.5V at rated current. The part is Active in product status and widely used in power management applications requiring stable low-voltage regulation. Substitute parts are identified to address packaging format preferences, inventory availability, and specific moisture sensitivity requirements while maintaining identical electrical performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AP130-25SAG-7 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: output voltage (2.5V fixed), output current (300mA), input voltage maximum (5.5V), dropout voltage (0.5V @ 300mA), quiescent current (100 µA), PSRR (58dB @ 100Hz), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), protection features (Over Current, Over Temperature, Short Circuit), and regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99).

The identified substitutes—AP130-25RG-7 and AP130-25WL-7—maintain identical electrical specifications and belong to the same AP130 base product family. Differences are limited to packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) and supplier device package designation (SOT-23-3, SC-59R, or SC-59-3), which represent mechanical variations only. Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) differs between parts but does not affect electrical substitutability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—AP130-25SAG-7, AP130-25RG-7, and AP130-25WL-7—are Active products with identical electrical specifications and full regulatory compliance (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, EAR99 classification). Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and handling requirements rather than electrical performance.

AP130-25SAG-7 and AP130-25WL-7 both feature MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity), suitable for applications with standard storage and handling conditions. AP130-25RG-7 carries MSL 3 (168 Hours), requiring controlled moisture exposure during storage and assembly.

Packaging format selection depends on assembly process: Tape & Reel (TR) format is standard for high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly, while Cut Tape (CT) format accommodates lower-volume or manual assembly workflows. Supplier device package designations (SOT-23-3, SC-59R, SC-59-3) represent mechanical package variants with identical electrical footprints and pin configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are AP130-25SAG-7, AP130-25RG-7, and AP130-25WL-7 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All three parts deliver identical electrical performance: 2.5V fixed output, 300mA output current, 0.5V maximum dropout voltage at rated current, 100 µA quiescent current, and 58dB PSRR at 100Hz. They share the same operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C) and protection features (Over Current, Over Temperature, Short Circuit).

Q: What is the difference between these parts?

A: Differences are mechanical and logistical only. AP130-25SAG-7 and AP130-25RG-7 are supplied in Tape & Reel format, while AP130-25WL-7 is supplied in Cut Tape format. Supplier device package designations differ (SOT-23-3, SC-59R, SC-59-3) but represent the same physical package. Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) varies: AP130-25SAG-7 and AP130-25WL-7 are MSL 1 (Unlimited), while AP130-25RG-7 is MSL 3 (168 Hours).

Q: Which part should I select for high-volume production?

A: Tape & Reel format parts (AP130-25SAG-7 or AP130-25RG-7) are standard for automated assembly lines. Selection between these two depends on moisture control capabilities during storage and assembly. If unlimited moisture exposure is acceptable, AP130-25SAG-7 (MSL 1) is suitable. If moisture exposure must be controlled to 168 hours, AP130-25RG-7 (MSL 3) is appropriate.

Q: Can I use AP130-25WL-7 (Cut Tape) in place of AP130-25SAG-7 (Tape & Reel)?

A: Electrically, yes. Mechanically and logistically, Cut Tape format is designed for lower-volume or manual assembly processes, not automated pick-and-place systems. Use Cut Tape format only if your assembly process supports it.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. AP130-25SAG-7, AP130-25RG-7, and AP130-25WL-7 are all ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What does MSL 1 versus MSL 3 mean for my application?

A: MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) indicates how sensitive the component is to moisture during storage and assembly. MSL 1 (Unlimited) allows indefinite storage without moisture control. MSL 3 (168 Hours) requires that the component be used within 168 hours of opening the moisture barrier bag. Select based on your storage and assembly timeline.
