Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AP7361-10E-13 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the Diodes Incorporated AP7361 series. The substitution criteria are:

• Identical output voltage: 1V fixed
• Identical output current rating: 1A
• Identical maximum input voltage: 6V
• Identical dropout voltage specification: 0.7V @ 1A
• Identical quiescent current: 90 µA
• Identical PSRR characteristics: 65dB ~ 45dB (1kHz ~ 10kHz)
• Identical protection features: Over Current, Over Temperature, Short Circuit
• Identical operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Identical mounting type: Surface Mount
• Compatible package variants within SOT-223 family
• Identical RoHS3 compliance and regulatory status

The AP7361-10ER-13 qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on these criteria, with the primary difference being the supplier device package designation (SOT-223R versus SOT-223-3), which represents a packaging variant within the same physical form factor.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the AP7361-10E-13 and AP7361-10ER-13 are active products from Diodes Incorporated with identical electrical specifications and full ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging availability and supply chain requirements rather than functional differences. The AP7361-10ER-13 offers significantly higher inventory availability (80,842 pcs versus 2,866 pcs), making it the preferred choice for high-volume production or extended lead time mitigation. Both parts maintain identical regulatory compliance, moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited), and REACH unaffected status, ensuring equivalent reliability and environmental qualification across applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AP7361-10ER-13 be used as a direct replacement for AP7361-10E-13?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, output voltage, current rating, dropout voltage, quiescent current, PSRR characteristics, protection features, and operating temperature range. The difference is limited to the supplier device package designation (SOT-223R versus SOT-223-3), which represents a packaging variant within the same physical form factor suitable for identical PCB layouts.

Q: What is the difference between SOT-223-3 and SOT-223R packaging?

A: Both designations refer to variants of the SOT-223 surface mount package family. The "R" suffix in SOT-223R indicates a specific packaging variant from the supplier. Mechanically and electrically, both are compatible with standard SOT-223 footprints used in PCB design.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical MSL ratings (1 - Unlimited). They share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classification, ensuring equivalent regulatory status for all applications.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection should be based on supply chain availability and inventory requirements. The AP7361-10ER-13 provides superior availability and is recommended for designs requiring extended production runs or supply chain resilience.

Q: Are these parts interchangeable in existing designs?

A: Yes. Existing designs using the AP7361-10E-13 can be updated to use the AP7361-10ER-13 without circuit modifications, provided the PCB footprint accommodates the SOT-223 package family.
