It does not carry the 125°C rating of the TPS26621DRCR, so it's not suited for under-hood automotive or engine-bay environments. For a 12V system in a conditioned indoor rack, the 85°C ceiling gives adequate headroom.
ROHS3 compliant. No LTB risk for new designs.
Yes, it carries ROHS3 compliance.
Yes. The 4.5V to 13.8V input range covers 12V rails directly, and the 5A output handles typical peripheral and sub-regulator loads. The ±15% accuracy means set the current-limit threshold with margin so normal operation stays below the trip point.
The TPS26621DRCR offers tighter ±5% accuracy and a wider -40°C to 125°C temperature range, but its output current is limited to 0.88 A. The TPS259260DRCR delivers 5 A at ±15% accuracy over -40°C to 85°C. Choose the TPS259260 for higher-current 12V rails in industrial environments; choose the TPS26621 for precision current limiting in high-temperature automotive applications.
