Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX5158EEE+ is the direct substitute for the obsolete MAX5158EEE. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all functional parameters.

The MAX5158EEE+ offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support and availability. Additionally, the MAX5158EEE+ is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original MAX5158EEE is non-compliant. For new designs or redesigns targeting current regulatory requirements, the MAX5158EEE+ is the appropriate selection.

Both parts maintain equivalent REACH status (REACH Unaffected) and ECCN classification (EAR99). The moisture sensitivity level remains unchanged at MSL 1 (Unlimited) for both variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MAX5158EEE+ be used as a direct replacement for the MAX5158EEE in existing designs?
