CP210-2N4416A-CT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CP210-2N4416A-CT is an N-Channel JFET transistor manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp, designed for applications requiring a 35 V breakdown voltage with 15 mA maximum drain current in a die package format. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable alternatives essential for ongoing production and design continuity. The transition from die packaging to standard surface mount packages necessitates evaluation of functionally equivalent devices that maintain electrical performance within specified parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CP210-2N4416A-CT is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical electrical parameters:

• N-Channel JFET topology
• Voltage - Breakdown (V(BR)GSS): 35 V minimum
• Drain to Source Voltage (Vdss): 35 V minimum
• Voltage - Cutoff (VGS off) @ Id: 2.5 V nominal
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C to 150°C minimum

The primary constraint for substitution is the transition from die packaging to a standardized surface mount package. The CP232V-2N4416A-CT meets all electrical specifications while providing SOT-23 packaging, enabling integration into standard PCB assembly processes. The reduction in maximum drain current from 15 mA to 5 mA in the substitute part requires circuit-level verification to confirm compatibility with application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CP232V-2N4416A-CT is the primary substitute for the obsolete CP210-2N4416A-CT based on the following factors:

• Electrical parameters are equivalent across all critical specifications including voltage ratings, cutoff voltage, and operating temperature range
• The substitute device maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (716 Pcs New Original In Stock)
• SOT-23-3 packaging provides standard surface mount compatibility, eliminating die-level assembly requirements
• REACH compliance status (REACH Unaffected) and ECCN classification (EAR99) are documented for the substitute part
• The reduction in maximum drain current (15 mA to 5 mA) must be evaluated against circuit requirements to confirm suitability for the intended application

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CP232V-2N4416A-CT directly replace the CP210-2N4416A-CT in all applications?

A: Electrical equivalence is confirmed for voltage and temperature specifications. However, the maximum drain current is reduced from 15 mA to 5 mA. Applications operating at drain currents exceeding 5 mA require circuit redesign or alternative component selection.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The main difference is packaging format. The CP210-2N4416A-CT is supplied as a die, while the CP232V-2N4416A-CT uses SOT-23-3 surface mount packaging. This enables standard PCB assembly processes for the substitute part.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences?

A: The substitute part (CP232V-2N4416A-CT) carries REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification. The original part is marked as obsolete with no current compliance documentation. Verify compliance requirements for your specific application and region.

Q: What is the input capacitance difference between these parts?

A: The CP210-2N4416A-CT specifies 4 pF maximum at 15V, while the CP232V-2N4416A-CT specifies 4.5 pF maximum at 15V. This 0.5 pF difference is negligible for most circuit applications.

Q: Is the substitute part currently available?

A: Yes, the CP232V-2N4416A-CT is classified as active product status with 716 pieces in stock as new original inventory.
