KSH210TF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KSH210TF is a PNP bipolar junction transistor manufactured by onsemi, rated for 25 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage and 5 A maximum collector current. The device is housed in a DPAK (TO-252-3) surface mount package and delivers 1.4 W maximum power dissipation with a transition frequency of 65 MHz. The KSH210TF is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and production continuity. Direct replacements and parametric equivalents are available from onsemi and other manufacturers with active product status.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the KSH210TF is determined by strict equivalence of electrical and mechanical parameters. The critical parameters that define substitutability are:

Transistor Type: PNP polarity must be maintained
Current Rating (Ic Max): Minimum 5 A required
Voltage Rating (Vce Breakdown): Minimum 25 V required
Vce Saturation: Must not exceed 1.8 V @ 1 A, 5 A
DC Current Gain (hFE): Minimum 45 @ 2 A, 1 V
Power Dissipation: Minimum 1.4 W required
Transition Frequency: Minimum 65 MHz required
Package: DPAK (TO-252-3) surface mount only
Compliance: ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1

Substitute parts are classified into two categories:

Direct Equivalents (Active Status): Parts with identical electrical specifications and DPAK packaging, manufactured by onsemi. These include MJD210G, MJD210T4G, MJD210RLG, and NJVMJD210T4G. All direct equivalents meet or exceed the KSH210TF parameter set and carry active product status.

Parametric Equivalents (Similar Specifications): Parts that meet the core electrical requirements but may differ in secondary parameters such as collector cutoff current, DC current gain, or operating temperature range. These include 2SB1412TLR, MJD32CT4, and PHPT60406PYX. Parametric equivalents require evaluation of application-specific requirements before selection.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Replacement (Preferred): MJD210G, MJD210T4G, MJD210RLG, and NJVMJD210T4G are direct electrical and mechanical equivalents to the KSH210TF. All four parts are manufactured by onsemi, carry active product status, and maintain identical electrical specifications including 5 A collector current, 25 V breakdown voltage, 1.8 V saturation voltage, and 65 MHz transition frequency. These parts are packaged in DPAK (TO-252-3) and are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1. Selection among these four direct equivalents is determined by packaging format availability: MJD210G is supplied in Tube packaging, MJD210T4G in Tape & Reel, MJD210RLG in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel, and NJVMJD210T4G in Tape & Reel.

Parametric Equivalents (Application-Dependent): The 2SB1412TLR, MJD32CT4, and PHPT60406PYX meet core electrical requirements but introduce parameter variations that require application evaluation.

The 2SB1412TLR (Rohm Semiconductor) maintains 5 A collector current and DPAK packaging but operates at a reduced 20 V breakdown voltage (versus 25 V) and 1 W power rating (versus 1.4 W). The part carries "Not For New Designs" status. This part is suitable only for legacy system maintenance where voltage and power margins are confirmed adequate.

The MJD32CT4 (STMicroelectronics) provides higher voltage capability (100 V) and significantly higher power dissipation (15 W) but reduces collector current to 3 A maximum. This part is not suitable for applications requiring the full 5 A current rating of the KSH210TF.

The PHPT60406PYX (Nexperia USA Inc.) exceeds KSH210TF specifications in collector current (6 A), voltage (40 V), and power (1.35 W), with higher transition frequency (110 MHz) and extended operating temperature (175 °C). However, this part uses a different package format (SC-100, SOT-669 / LFPAK56, Power-SO8) and is not pin-compatible with DPAK. The PHPT60406PYX carries automotive qualification (AEC-Q100) and is suitable only for applications where package redesign is acceptable.

Compliance and Certification: All recommended direct equivalents and parametric equivalents maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MJD210G, MJD210T4G, MJD210RLG, or NJVMJD210T4G be used as direct drop-in replacements for KSH210TF?

A: Yes. All four parts are direct electrical and mechanical equivalents. They maintain identical collector current (5 A), breakdown voltage (25 V), saturation voltage (1.8 V @ 1 A, 5 A), DC current gain (45 @ 2 A, 1 V), power rating (1.4 W), and transition frequency (65 MHz). All are packaged in DPAK (TO-252-3) with identical pinout. Selection is based on packaging format availability: Tube, Tape & Reel, or Cut Tape & Digi-Reel.

Q: What is the difference between MJD210G, MJD210T4G, MJD210RLG, and NJVMJD210T4G?

A: These four parts are electrically identical. The differences are in packaging format and supplier packaging designation. MJD210G is supplied in Tube format. MJD210T4G and NJVMJD210T4G are supplied in Tape & Reel. MJD210RLG is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format. Selection depends on production volume and assembly equipment compatibility.

Q: Can the 2SB1412TLR be used as a substitute for KSH210TF?

A: The 2SB1412TLR meets the 5 A collector current requirement and uses the same DPAK package. However, it operates at a reduced 20 V breakdown voltage (versus 25 V) and 1 W power rating (versus 1.4 W). The part carries "Not For New Designs" status. Use is limited to legacy system maintenance where circuit voltage and power margins are confirmed adequate for the reduced specifications.

Q: Why is MJD32CT4 listed as a substitute if it only supports 3 A collector current?

A: MJD32CT4 is classified as a parametric equivalent based on shared DPAK packaging and PNP polarity. However, the 3 A maximum collector current is insufficient for applications requiring the full 5 A rating of KSH210TF. MJD32CT4 is suitable only for applications where actual operating current does not exceed 3 A.

Q: Can PHPT60406PYX replace KSH210TF in existing circuit boards?

A: No. Although PHPT60406PYX exceeds KSH210TF electrical specifications (6 A, 40 V, 1.35 W, 110 MHz), it uses a different package format (SC-100, SOT-669 / LFPAK56, Power-SO8) and is not pin-compatible with DPAK. Circuit board redesign is required for this substitution. PHPT60406PYX is suitable only for new designs where package change is acceptable.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All direct equivalents (MJD210G, MJD210T4G, MJD210RLG, NJVMJD210T4G) and parametric equivalents (2SB1412TLR, MJD32CT4, PHPT60406PYX) are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for direct equivalents?

A: Direct equivalents MJD210G, MJD210T4G, MJD210RLG, and NJVMJD210T4G operate over −65 °C to 150 °C junction temperature, which exceeds the KSH210TF specification of 150 °C maximum. This extended range provides additional thermal margin for demanding applications.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability?

A: MJD210T4G has the highest inventory with 35,100 pieces in stock, followed by MJD32CT4 with 44,838 pieces. For direct equivalents to KSH210TF, MJD210T4G is the recommended choice for immediate availability.
