Texas Instruments LP2950
LP2950 variants from Texas Instruments
LP2950 Overview
What changes between part numbers, and what to check before you lock the BOM — Integrated Circuits (ICs).
LP2950 is a Texas Instruments order-code family — not a single orderable MPN. This page lists 5 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: TO-226-3, TO-92-3 (TO-226AA) Formed Leads | Mounting Type: Through Hole | Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 125°C (TJ) | Output Type: Fixed | Voltage Input Max: 30V | Supplier Device Package: TO-92-3 Other listed variants describe: 3V LDO 100mA Linear Voltage Regulator TO-92; 3V LDO 100mA, 30V In, TO-92, Low IQ.
Across listed variants, watch these parameters: packages: TO-226-3, TO-92-3 (TO-226AA) Formed Leads.
Suffix examples in this family: 30LPRE3, 30LP, 30LPR, 33LPE3, 33LPRE3. 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: LP2950-30LPRE3, LP2950-30LP, LP2950-30LPR, LP2950-33LPE3, LP2950-33LPRE3.
Key Features
- Footprint / package: TO-226-3, TO-92-3 (TO-226AA) Formed LeadsSingle 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.
- 5 distinct suffix patternsExamples: 30LPRE3, 30LP, 30LPR, 33LPE3, 33LPRE3. Decode suffix meaning in the ordering notes under the variant table.
Target Applications
- Integrated Circuits (ICs) — 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 LP2950 map to package, grade, and reel options.
LP2950 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: 30LPRE3, 30LP, 30LPR, 33LPE3, 33LPRE3.
Full MPN examples: LP2950-30LPRE3, LP2950-30LP, LP2950-30LPR, LP2950-33LPE3, LP2950-33LPRE3.
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 LP2950 Integrated Circuits (ICs)
Match the footprint first
Packages here: TO-226-3, TO-92-3 (TO-226AA) Formed Leads. Open the land-pattern drawing before you substitute a different suffix.
Electrical headroom
Compare voltage and current columns in the variant table. For LP2950, 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 "LP2950" — include the full suffix (e.g. 30LPRE3, 30LP, 30LPR). RFQ with reel/tube preference and required date code.
