Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 2SA216200L is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the PNP bipolar transistor category. The following parameters establish substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Transistor polarity: PNP
• Maximum collector current: 500 mA minimum
• Collector-emitter breakdown voltage: 12 V minimum
• Vce saturation characteristics: 250 mV @ 10mA, 200mA
• Collector cutoff current: 100 nA maximum
• DC current gain (hFE): 270 minimum @ 10mA, 2V
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Package type: SOT-723

Acceptable Parameter Variations:

• Maximum power dissipation: Equal to or greater than 100 mW
• Transition frequency: Equal to or greater than 200 MHz
• Maximum operating temperature: Equal to or greater than 125°C

The 2SA2030T2L manufactured by Rohm Semiconductor meets all critical matching parameters and exceeds acceptable variation thresholds, qualifying it as a direct electrical and mechanical substitute for the 2SA216200L.
