I am looking for an exact replica for RT8295GE (U$2) used on relay shield. This component is available from Digikey but not from Mouser (as far as i have checked). If anyone ever came across a direct replica (from Mouser), please share. For some odd reason i have to stick with ordering from Mouser
Most of the regulators available out there requires the “enable pin” to be pulled high but not RT8295GE. Though this issue can be fixed by a little tweak in Eagle files, i am looking for a quicker way out by finding out an exact replica for RT8295GE.
It seems unlikely, older, dumber now fairly generic regulators like a 78L05 certainly have plenty of identical footprint alternatives although they often have slightly different tolerances meaning you still need to be careful. This one however is a reasonably modern part with just enough proprietary technology to stop someone making a direct copy.
If you can’t get it from Mouser and you can;t get someone to break that restriction, choosing something else and designing it in instead could even mean you get a cheaper part (because you get to set the parameters).
I kind of made a mistake on my end … i didn’t verified the whole BOM and ordered the PCB’s (ouch) …
Still digging out to see if there is a replica out there … otherwise aliexpress …
