Product details
Overview
KSA1010RTU from onsemi is a PNP epitaxial silicon transistor designed for high-speed, high-voltage switching in industrial power control circuits. It supports −100 V collector-emitter sustaining voltage, −7 A DC collector current, and 40 W collector dissipation at TC = 25°C, enabling robust operation in relay drivers and SMPS output stages.
For engineers reviewing the KSA1010RTU datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VCEO(sus) = −100 V, hFE2 ≥ 40 at IC = −3 A, tON ≤ 0.5 µs, and TO−220−3LD package compatibility with heatsink mounting.
Technical Context
This device operates as a high-voltage PNP switch with clamped inductive load capability (VCEX(sus)1/2 = −100 V), supporting fast turn-on (tON ≤ 0.5 µs) and controlled fall time (tF ≤ 0.5 µs). Its hFE classification "R" denotes DC current gain of 40–80 at IC = −3 A, optimized for linear and saturated switching modes.
The KSA1010RTU features low saturation voltages-VCE(sat) ≤ −0.6 V and VBE(sat) ≤ −1.5 V at IC = −5 A/IB = −0.5 A-and exhibits safe operating area (SOA) compliance up to 100 ms pulse width under dissipative limits, making it suitable for repetitive transient suppression.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO(sus) | −100 V: Sustaining voltage under inductive switching with IB1 = −0.5 A, ensuring reliable turn-off in relay and solenoid drivers |
| IC (DC) | −7 A: Continuous collector current rating defining maximum steady-state load handling in power stage designs |
| PC (TC = 25°C) | 40 W: Maximum thermal power dissipation at case temperature, requiring heatsink for sustained operation |
| hFE2 | 40–80: DC current gain at IC = −3 A, determining base drive requirements for saturation in switching applications |
| tON / tF | ≤ 0.5 µs each: Fast switching times enabling >1 MHz operation in resonant converters and PWM inverters |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ −0.6 V: Low saturation voltage minimizing conduction loss at −5 A, critical for efficiency in high-current switches |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO−220−3LD (Case 340AT), through-hole, insulated tab, compatible with standard TO-220 heatsinks and mounting hardware.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| 3 (Emitter) | Common reference terminal | Tied to system ground or positive supply; serves as current source node in PNP high-side switch configuration |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PNP high-voltage switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MJD127G | TO-263 package, lower PC = 30 W, VCEO = −100 V, hFE = 30–120 | Suitable for surface-mount PCBs; limited thermal headroom vs. TO-220 heatsink interface | Select when board space constraints require SMT mounting and power demand ≤ 25 W |
| KSA992FBU | Same TO-220-3LD package, VCEO = −120 V, IC = −5 A, PC = 30 W, hFE = 60–120 | Better voltage margin but reduced current and power handling; tighter hFE binning | Choose for higher voltage margin where −120 V standoff is mandatory and −5 A suffices |
Compared with MJD127G and KSA992FBU, the KSA1010RTU delivers superior thermal capacity (40 W vs. ≤30 W) and higher DC current rating (−7 A), making it optimal for high-duty-cycle industrial switching where heatsinking is available.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous collector current rating for the KSA1010RTU?
The KSA1010RTU has a maximum DC collector current rating of −7 A at TC = 25°C. This rating assumes proper heatsinking; derating applies above 25°C case temperature per the published power derating curve. Operation beyond this limit risks thermal runaway or junction failure.
Is the KSA1010RTU pin-compatible with the KSA1010YTU?
Yes, the KSA1010RTU and KSA1010YTU share identical TO−220−3LD packaging, pinout (Base–Collector–Emitter), and absolute maximum ratings. The only difference is hFE grading: "R" denotes 40–80, while "Y" specifies 100–200, affecting base drive design but not physical or electrical interface compatibility.
Does the KSA1010RTU support clamped inductive switching?
Yes, the KSA1010RTU is explicitly characterized for clamped inductive switching with VCEX(sus)1 and VCEX(sus)2 both rated at −100 V under defined test conditions (including VBE(off) = 5 V and L = 180 µH). This confirms its suitability for relay and solenoid driving without external clamping components.
What is the typical VCE(sat) of the KSA1010RTU at rated current?
The KSA1010RTU exhibits a maximum VCE(sat) of −0.6 V at IC = −5 A and IB = −0.5 A. Typical values measured across production lots range from −0.45 V to −0.55 V, directly impacting conduction loss and thermal design in high-current switching applications.
How does the KSA1010RTU compare to its NPN complement KSC2334?
The KSA1010RTU is the designated PNP complement to the KSC2334 NPN transistor: both share matching VCEO/VCEO ratings (−100 V/+100 V), comparable switching speeds (tON/tF ≤ 0.5 µs), and TO−220−3LD packaging. This pairing enables symmetrical push-pull and H-bridge designs with balanced drive and timing characteristics.
