BD60HA5MEFJ-ME2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BD60HA5MEFJ-ME2 is a linear voltage regulator IC from Rohm Semiconductor designed for automotive applications. This positive fixed output regulator delivers 500mA at 6V output with a maximum dropout voltage of 1.2V. The device is AEC-Q100 qualified and actively produced, making it suitable for automotive power management circuits requiring stable regulated voltage with integrated protection features.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility can be maintained across the same functional parameters, allowing for design flexibility and supply chain optimization.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BD60HA5MEFJ-ME2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Output voltage configuration (Positive Fixed at 6V)
Output current capability (500mA)
Maximum input voltage (8V)
Dropout voltage specification (1.2V @ 500mA)
Package type (8-SOIC with exposed pad)
Surface mount compatibility
Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C)
Protection feature set (Over Current, Over Temperature, Soft Start)
Control features (Enable function)
Regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)

The BD60HA5MEFJ-LBH2 meets all these criteria as a parametric equivalent from the same manufacturer and base product series.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the BD60HA5MEFJ-ME2 and BD60HA5MEFJ-LBH2 are active products from Rohm Semiconductor with identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. Selection between these parts may be based on:

Inventory availability and lead time requirements
Supply chain logistics and regional distribution
Cost considerations within equivalent product lines
Existing qualification status in your design documentation

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and automotive AEC-Q100 qualification (where applicable). The identical package footprint (8-HTSOP-J) and electrical performance ensure direct substitution without circuit redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BD60HA5MEFJ-LBH2 be used as a direct replacement for BD60HA5MEFJ-ME2?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, output voltage (6V), output current (500mA), dropout voltage (1.2V @ 500mA), package type (8-SOIC with exposed pad), and protection features. The parts are parametrically equivalent and interchangeable at the circuit level.

Q: Are there differences in the package or pinout between these parts?

A: No. Both parts use the 8-HTSOP-J package with identical pinout and mechanical dimensions (0.154" width, 3.90mm). PCB layout and footprint remain unchanged.

Q: Do both parts meet automotive qualification requirements?

A: The BD60HA5MEFJ-ME2 is specified as part of the Automotive, AEC-Q100 series. The BD60HA5MEFJ-LBH2 does not list series designation in the provided data. Verify AEC-Q100 qualification status with the manufacturer if automotive certification is a design requirement.

Q: What is the difference between the part number suffixes (-ME2 vs -LBH2)?

A: The suffixes indicate different packaging or distribution variants from Rohm Semiconductor. Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. The suffix difference does not affect electrical performance or functional compatibility.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications. Regulatory status is equivalent.

Q: What inventory levels are available?

A: BD60HA5MEFJ-ME2 has 1007 pcs in stock. BD60HA5MEFJ-LBH2 has 1219 pcs in stock. Availability may vary by distributor and time of inquiry.
