NJM78M06DL1A-TE2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The NJM78M06DL1A-TE2 is a linear voltage regulator IC manufactured by Nisshinbo Micro Devices Inc., designed to provide a fixed positive 6V output at 500mA. This surface-mount component operates across an input voltage range up to 35V and is housed in a TO-252-3 (DPAK) package. The device is actively produced and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for applications requiring regulated 6V power distribution in compact form factors.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when alternative manufacturers offer linear voltage regulators with matching electrical specifications and compatible packaging, enabling design flexibility and supply chain continuity.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: NJM78M06DL1A-TE2

The NJM78M06DL1A-TE2 is the specified component with active product status and RoHS compliance. Selection of this part is appropriate when Nisshinbo Micro Devices supply is available and design requirements align with its -40°C to 85°C operating range and MSL 2 moisture sensitivity specification.

Substitute Part: L78M06CDT-TR

The L78M06CDT-TR from STMicroelectronics is a direct electrical and mechanical substitute. Both devices deliver identical 6V, 500mA output specifications with matching TO-252-3 packaging. The STMicroelectronics device offers extended operating temperature range (0°C to 125°C), enhanced protection features including over-current detection, improved moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), and ROHS3 compliance. Selection of the L78M06CDT-TR is appropriate when STMicroelectronics supply is preferred, when extended temperature operation is required, or when superior moisture resistance is necessary for storage and handling.

Both parts are active products with regulatory compliance suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring fixed 6V regulation at 500mA output.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the L78M06CDT-TR replace the NJM78M06DL1A-TE2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both devices share identical electrical specifications (6V output, 500mA current, 35V maximum input) and are housed in the same TO-252-3 (DPAK) package. Pin configuration and footprint are compatible, enabling direct substitution without PCB redesign.

Q: What are the differences between these two regulators?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Operating temperature range—NJM78M06DL1A-TE2 operates -40°C to 85°C, while L78M06CDT-TR operates 0°C to 125°C; (2) Protection features—L78M06CDT-TR includes over-current protection in addition to over-temperature and short-circuit protection; (3) PSRR performance—NJM78M06DL1A-TE2 provides 75dB at 120Hz versus 59dB for L78M06CDT-TR; (4) Moisture sensitivity—L78M06CDT-TR has MSL 1 (unlimited shelf life) compared to MSL 2 (1 year) for NJM78M06DL1A-TE2.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The NJM78M06DL1A-TE2 is RoHS compliant, and the L78M06CDT-TR is ROHS3 compliant. Both meet RoHS requirements for lead-free manufacturing.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these parts?

A: The NJM78M06DL1A-TE2 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. The L78M06CDT-TR is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® formats. Both use the same TO-252-3 (DPAK) component package.

Q: Which part should I select for high-temperature applications?

A: The L78M06CDT-TR supports operation up to 125°C, making it suitable for high-temperature environments. The NJM78M06DL1A-TE2 is rated to 85°C maximum.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity considerations for long-term storage?

A: The L78M06CDT-TR has MSL 1 rating with unlimited shelf life, providing superior moisture resistance for extended storage. The NJM78M06DL1A-TE2 has MSL 2 rating with a 1-year shelf life limit, requiring more careful moisture control during storage.
