Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 2SD1816T-TL-H is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the 2SD1816T-TL-E. All critical electrical parameters, package specifications, and regulatory compliance certifications are identical between the two parts.

The primary distinction is product status: the 2SD1816T-TL-E is classified as Obsolete, while the 2SD1816T-TL-H maintains Active status. This status difference reflects manufacturing availability and long-term supply reliability.

A secondary distinction exists in packaging format: the 2SD1816T-TL-E is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format, while the 2SD1816T-TL-H is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both formats contain identical components; the difference reflects distribution and handling methodology only.

For new designs or component replenishment, the 2SD1816T-TL-H is the appropriate selection due to its Active product status and continued manufacturing support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 2SD1816T-TL-E and 2SD1816T-TL-H electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications including collector current rating (4A), breakdown voltage (100V), saturation voltage (400mV @ 200mA, 2A), DC current gain (200 @ 500mA, 5V), power rating (1W), and transition frequency (180MHz).

Q: Can the 2SD1816T-TL-H be used as a direct replacement for the 2SD1816T-TL-E in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 2SD1816T-TL-H is mechanically and electrically compatible. Both parts use identical TO-252-3 DPAK packaging with the same pin configuration and thermal characteristics. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape (CT) and Tape & Reel (TR) packaging?

A: Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components in shorter tape segments, typically for smaller quantity orders or manual assembly. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous reels, optimized for automated assembly processes. The components themselves are identical; only the distribution format differs.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 2SD1816T-TL-E and 2SD1816T-TL-H are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Why is the 2SD1816T-TL-E marked as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued production of this specific part number variant. The 2SD1816T-TL-H remains in active production and is the recommended selection for ongoing supply requirements.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These components do not require special moisture control during storage or handling.
