AP2114HA fixed voltage regulator connection guide

AP2114HA fixed voltage regulator SOT-223 (HA) wiring guide with power, signal assignments, and bench checks.

SOT-223 (HA)

4 contacts Current package

Diodes Incorporated / BCD · Three lead positions and a connected metal tab.

Power the fixed regulator

Required

Check the tab connection before attaching the board or heatsink. Measure the output against the device ground with a high-impedance meter.

Bench checks

  • Confirm the input is present at VIN and the output is near the selected fixed voltage.

Connection scenarios

Check regulation under a small load

Switch the supply off, add a 1 kΩ resistive load from VOUT to GND, then reapply power.

Bench checks

  • Compare loaded and unloaded output readings. The nominal current in milliamperes is the output voltage divided by 1 kΩ.
  • Check VIN at the part and probe VOUT for oscillation if the output moves unexpectedly.
