Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The AP7370-12W5-7 qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the AP7370-12WR-7 based on the following substitution criteria:

Electrical Specifications Match:

• Identical output voltage: 1.2V fixed
• Identical maximum input voltage: 18V
• Identical output current rating: 300mA
• Identical quiescent current: 2.5 µA
• Identical operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 125°C (TJ)
• Identical protection features: Over Current, Over Temperature, Reverse Current, Short Circuit

Package & Mechanical Compatibility:

• Identical package designation: SC-74A, SOT-753
• Identical supplier device package: SOT-25
• Identical mounting type: Surface Mount

Regulatory & Compliance Equivalence:

• Identical RoHS status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Identical moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Identical REACH status: REACH Unaffected
• Identical ECCN classification: EAR99

Both parts share the same base product number (AP7370) and differ only in packaging configuration designator (12WR-7 vs. 12W5-7), indicating tape & reel packaging variants from the same manufacturer product line.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the AP7370-12WR-7 and AP7370-12W5-7 maintain Active product status with full regulatory compliance. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply chain availability rather than electrical or functional differences. The AP7370-12WR-7 carries 970 units in current inventory, while the AP7370-12W5-7 maintains 701 units. Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry identical REACH and ECCN classifications, making them suitable for equivalent circuit applications without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AP7370-12W5-7 be used as a direct replacement for AP7370-12WR-7?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with matching output voltage, current ratings, operating temperature range, and package specifications. The suffix difference (12WR-7 vs. 12W5-7) indicates packaging configuration variants only.

Q: Are there any differences in protection features between these parts?

A: No. Both parts include identical protection features: Over Current, Over Temperature, Reverse Current, and Short Circuit protection.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical ECCN classification (EAR99). Moisture sensitivity level is 1 (Unlimited) for both.

Q: Is the SOT-25 package compatible with existing PCB layouts designed for AP7370-12WR-7?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical package designations (SC-74A, SOT-753) and SOT-25 supplier device package specifications, ensuring pin-for-pin compatibility on existing circuit boards.

Q: What determines the choice between these two part numbers?

A: Selection is based on supply chain availability and packaging configuration preference. Both parts are functionally equivalent for all circuit applications.
