00:00AMS 1117 vs MP1584EN, which regulator wins?
00:05Midnight, hook, so you're rebuilding a bench power supply and the same question keeps popping up, AMS 1117 or MP1584EN?
00:14I went through the top-selling regulator kits on the store and pulled the 5 with the best deals.
00:205 products, 5 different price points, and yeah, one of them wins big on value.
00:25015, product 1, this is the 70-piece AMS 1117 voltage regulator kit.
00:31You get 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2.5, 3.3, 5.0V, plus the adjustable version, all in
00:40one bag for $3.63.
00:4270 chips for under $4, rated 4.9 stars with almost 5,000 sold.
00:48If you're building more than one project, this is the kit you buy once and forget about.
00:54040, product 2, next up is the 10-piece AMS 1117 kit in the SOD89 STK17 series.
01:01Same lineup of fixed voltages including the adjustable part, but in the smaller SOD89 footprint,
01:07so it's easier to hand solda onto a tight board.
01:10$2.52 for 10 chips.
01:13The star rating dips a bit at 4.6, and the SOD89 size means it's not ideal for beginners who
01:19want big easy pads.
01:21105, product 3, here's my favorite of the bunch, 50 AMS 1117 chips and SOD223 for $1.66.
01:30SOD223 means bigger leads, way easier to solder than SOD89, and 50 pieces of them for less than $2.
01:37It's rated a perfect 5.0 with over 4,500 sold.
01:42When you stack up price per chip, nothing else on this list comes close.
01:46This is the bulk buy.
01:49130, product 4, this one is the single AMS 1117 power supply module, and I like it for a completely
01:55different reason.
01:57It's a ready-to-use board with the input and output capacitors already on it, so you drop in your
02:01voltage, add a couple of wires, and it works.
02:05No soldering on a tiny 3-pin chip at all.
02:08$2.75 for one piece, rated 4.9.
02:13Perfect for one project, one rail.
02:16Skipped, exact script file slash b-roll shot list, say the word, add it.
