AP1186T5-50L-U is listed in the Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators range at ChipApex. The manufacturer field lists Diodes Incorporated. Its product description is IC REG LINEAR 5V 1.5A TO220-5. Review the specifications below when checking this part for your BOM.
The AP1186T5-50L-U is a discontinued 1.5A ultra-low dropout positive linear regulator manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It provides a fixed 5.0V output in a TO-220-5L through-hole package. The device features a maximum dropout voltage of 0.38V at full load and includes built-in thermal shutdown and current limiting. It operates within a junction temperature range of 0°C to +150°C.
This component is officially obsolete and discontinued by the manufacturer. No new production units are available. Verification of authenticity is critical when sourcing from secondary markets, as stock levels vary and counterfeit risks exist. Designers should initiate immediate replacement strategies due to permanent end-of-life status.
Selection requires evaluating the specific need for remote sensing via the Vsense pin to compensate for PCB trace resistance. The TO-220-5L package necessitates through-hole mounting and appropriate heat sinking to manage power dissipation under maximum load conditions while maintaining junction temperatures below the absolute maximum rating.
The AP1186 series is designed to provide well-regulated supply for applications requiring voltages of 2.8V or lower from 3.3V sources. It eliminates the complexity and cost of switching regulators while offering better efficiency than traditional PNP types. The T5 suffix specifically denotes the TO-220-5L package variant.
The datasheet explicitly states: PART OBSOLETE – NO ALTERNATE PART. No official substitute part numbers are provided by the manufacturer.
