150 mA USB LDO — what the rating means for the rail
The MAX5007BEUB is a 150 mA USB LDO regulator from Analog Devices, designed to deliver a clean, regulated output from a USB bus or similar 5 V supply rail. The 150 mA current ceiling aligns with the USB 2.0 low-power port limit — it supplies a single peripheral or a low-power wireless node without exceeding the host port's budget.
RoHS non-compliance — the one spec that changes the assembly line
This part is RoHS non-compliant per the manufacturer's declaration. For a board that must ship into EU or similar regulated markets, this is the showstopper — the LDO contains lead (Pb) above the exemption threshold, so it cannot be used in a standard lead-free reflow process without a waiver. For military, aerospace, or high-reliability builds that still use tin-lead solder, the non-RoHS status is irrelevant or even preferred.
The MAX5007BEUB is sourced through independent distribution channels. No stock-holding claim is made — the part is quoted to order, with lead time confirmed in the quote.
