Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is governed by strict equivalence in electrical and mechanical parameters, including transistor type, maximum collector-emitter voltage, collector current, package, mounting style, cutoff and saturation currents, current gain, transition frequency, operating temperature, compliance (RoHS/REACH), and moisture sensitivity. Substitute part numbers are selected only if these parameters are explicitly available and match or exceed the original part's limits within the same package class and regulatory criteria.
