MCP73871T Overview
What changes between part numbers, and what to check before you lock the BOM — Battery Chargers.
MCP73871T is a Microchip Technology order-code family — not a single orderable MPN. This page lists 3 variants that share the same core device but differ in suffix fields (package, grade, reel/tube, electrical bin, etc.). Pick the exact full part number; substituting within the family without checking the datasheet often causes assembly or spec mismatches.
Package: 20-VFQFN Exposed Pad | Mounting Type: Surface Mount | Interface: USB | Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 85°C (TA) Other listed variants describe: IC BATT CHG LI-ION 1CELL 20QFN.
Across listed variants, watch these parameters: packages: 20-VFQFN Exposed Pad.
Suffix examples in this family: 2CCI/ML, 2AAI/ML, 2CAI/ML. The characters after the base number usually encode package, temperature, or performance grade — compare the variant table column-by-column rather than assuming pin-compatible drops-in.
Example MPNs: MCP73871T-2CCI/ML, MCP73871T-2AAI/ML, MCP73871T-2CAI/ML.
Key Features
- Footprint / package: 20-VFQFN Exposed PadSingle package option across listed variants; still confirm reel vs tube suffix if you auto-insert.
- Lifecycle mix: ActiveConfirm lifecycle on the exact MPN, not just the base number prefix.
- 3 distinct suffix patternsExamples: 2CCI/ML, 2AAI/ML, 2CAI/ML. Decode suffix meaning in the ordering notes under the variant table.
Target Applications
- Battery Chargers — design-in and field replacement
- BOM scrub where only the base prefix is known but suffix is TBD
- Second-source checks when the original MPN is constrained

Ordering Code Differences
How suffixes on MCP73871T map to package, grade, and reel options.
MCP73871T uses a shared prefix; characters after the prefix encode orderable options. Two lines with the same prefix are not drop-in replacements unless the differing columns match your need.
Suffixes seen here: 2CCI/ML, 2AAI/ML, 2CAI/ML.
Full MPN examples: MCP73871T-2CCI/ML, MCP73871T-2AAI/ML, MCP73871T-2CAI/ML.
Tip: photograph or copy the reel label — reel diameter, QTY per reel, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) are often suffix-driven and won't show in the schematic.
How to Choose the Right MCP73871T Battery Chargers
Match the footprint first
Packages here: 20-VFQFN Exposed Pad. Open the land-pattern drawing before you substitute a different suffix.
Electrical headroom
Compare voltage and current columns in the variant table. For MCP73871T, a suffix with lower voltage or current rating will not survive the same circuit without recalculation.
Temp grade letter matters
Commercial (0–70 °C) and industrial (−40–85 °C+) suffixes look similar in the prefix — confirm ambient + self-heating, not just the first page of the datasheet.
Copy the full MPN
Do not BOM only "MCP73871T" — include the full suffix (e.g. 2CCI/ML, 2AAI/ML, 2CAI/ML). RFQ with reel/tube preference and required date code.
