KSH210TM Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KSH210TM is a PNP bipolar junction transistor manufactured by onsemi, rated for 25V collector-emitter breakdown voltage and 5A maximum collector current in a surface mount DPAK package. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications and package form factors while offering active product status and improved availability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the KSH210TM are classified into two categories based on electrical and mechanical compatibility:

Direct Equivalents (Identical Specifications): MJD210G, MJD210T4G, and MJD210RLG maintain all critical electrical parameters including 5A maximum collector current, 25V breakdown voltage, 1.8V saturation voltage, 45 minimum DC current gain, and 65MHz transition frequency. These parts are packaged in identical TO-252-3 DPAK form factors and are manufactured by onsemi. The primary differences are packaging configurations (Tube, Tape & Reel, and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel respectively) and product status (all active). These substitutes provide direct functional replacement with improved availability.

Parametric Equivalent (Enhanced Specifications): NJVMJD210T4G is functionally equivalent with identical electrical performance and DPAK packaging. This part carries the NJVMJD210 base product number and is supplied in Tape & Reel format with active product status.

Similar Part (Upgraded Specifications): PHPT60406PYX from Nexperia USA Inc. offers enhanced electrical performance with 6A maximum collector current, 40V breakdown voltage, and 110MHz transition frequency in an LFPAK56 Power-SO8 package. This part includes automotive qualification (AEC-Q100) and higher operating temperature rating (175°C). This substitution applies only when design requirements permit higher voltage and current ratings with different package geometry.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Recommended Primary Option): Select MJD210T4G, MJD210G, or MJD210RLG for applications requiring exact electrical and mechanical compatibility with the KSH210TM. All three parts are manufactured by onsemi with active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. MJD210T4G offers the highest inventory availability (35,100 pieces) in Tape & Reel packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes. MJD210G in Tube packaging and MJD210RLG in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format provide alternative packaging options for different procurement and handling requirements. All three parts provide extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 150°C) compared to the KSH210TM specification.

For Enhanced Performance Applications: NJVMJD210T4G maintains identical electrical specifications and DPAK packaging with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This part is suitable when the NJVMJD210 base product number is specified in design documentation.

For Upgraded Specifications: PHPT60406PYX from Nexperia USA Inc. is applicable only when design requirements permit higher voltage (40V) and current (6A) ratings. This part includes automotive qualification (AEC-Q100) and higher operating temperature capability (175°C). The LFPAK56 Power-SO8 package differs from the DPAK form factor and requires PCB layout modification. This substitution is not suitable for direct pin-compatible replacement.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, and EAR99 export classification consistent with the original KSH210TM specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MJD210T4G be used as a direct replacement for KSH210TM in existing designs?

A: Yes. MJD210T4G maintains identical electrical specifications (5A collector current, 25V breakdown voltage, 1.8V saturation voltage, 45 minimum DC current gain, 65MHz transition frequency) and TO-252-3 DPAK package geometry. The primary difference is active product status and extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 150°C versus 150°C maximum for KSH210TM). No circuit modifications are required.

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

A: These three parts are electrically identical with identical DPAK packaging. The differences are packaging formats: MJD210G is supplied in Tube format, MJD210T4G in Tape & Reel (TR), and MJD210RLG in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel format. Selection depends on procurement method and assembly process requirements. Tape & Reel format (MJD210T4G) is standard for automated pick-and-place assembly.

Q: Is PHPT60406PYX compatible with KSH210TM circuit designs?

A: PHPT60406PYX is not pin-compatible with KSH210TM. While both are PNP transistors in surface mount packages, PHPT60406PYX uses LFPAK56 Power-SO8 package geometry versus DPAK for KSH210TM. PHPT60406PYX offers enhanced specifications (6A current, 40V voltage, 110MHz frequency) and automotive qualification. This part is suitable only for new designs where the different package geometry can be accommodated in PCB layout.

Q: What is the inventory status for substitute parts?

A: MJD210T4G has the highest availability with 35,100 pieces in stock. MJD210G has 5,525 pieces, NJVMJD210T4G has 7,402 pieces, MJD210RLG has 1,436 pieces, and PHPT60406PYX has 1,036 pieces. All substitute parts are active products with ongoing supply.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts (MJD210G, MJD210T4G, MJD210RLG, NJVMJD210T4G, and PHPT60406PYX) are ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), consistent with KSH210TM specifications.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference between KSH210TM and substitute parts?

A: KSH210TM specifies maximum junction temperature of 150°C. MJD210G, MJD210T4G, MJD210RLG, and NJVMJD210T4G specify operating temperature range of -65°C to 150°C, providing extended low-temperature capability. PHPT60406PYX specifies maximum junction temperature of 175°C. For applications operating at or near 150°C, the extended range of substitute parts provides additional thermal margin.

Q: Can NJVMJD210T4G be used interchangeably with MJD210T4G?

A: Yes. NJVMJD210T4G maintains identical electrical specifications and DPAK packaging as MJD210T4G. The base product number differs (NJVMJD210 versus MJD210), but electrical performance and package geometry are equivalent. Selection depends on design documentation requirements and supplier availability.
