Product details
Overview
KSC2073H2TU from onsemi is an NPN epitaxial silicon transistor designed for TV vertical deflection output stages, with VCBO = 150 V, VCEO = 150 V, IC = 1.5 A, PC = 25 W at TC = 25 °C, and hFE classification H2 (60–125). It operates in linear switching mode in high-voltage horizontal/vertical scan circuits.
For engineers reviewing the KSC2073H2TU datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include vertical deflection duty cycle capability, safe operating area under pulsed load, thermal derating above 25 °C, and complementary pairing with KSA940 for push-pull output stages.
Technical Context
This device is a medium-power, high-voltage NPN bipolar junction transistor optimized for vertical deflection linearity and pulse handling in CRT television systems. Its 150 V VCEO rating and 25 W power dissipation at case temperature support sustained operation under repetitive high-current pulses.
The H2 hFE bin (60–125) ensures consistent current gain across production lots for stable biasing in fixed-gain driver stages. Cob = 50 pF at VCB = 10 V enables predictable switching behavior in resonant flyback timing networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCBO | 150 V - supports collector-base stress up to vertical retrace voltage peaks without breakdown |
| IC | 1.5 A - delivers peak vertical scan current into deflection yoke loads |
| PC | 25 W at TC = 25 °C - defines maximum continuous power at heatsink interface; derates linearly above 25 °C |
| hFE (H2) | 60–125 - ensures predictable base drive requirements for fixed-bias vertical output stages |
| VCE(sat) | ≤1 V at IC = 500 mA, IB = 50 mA - minimizes conduction loss and self-heating during active scan period |
| fT | 4 MHz - sufficient for vertical deflection frequency (50–60 Hz) with margin for transient response |
| Cob | 50 pF at VCB = 10 V - determines resonant timing with external flyback capacitor in deflection circuit |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220-3LD (Case 340AT), lead-free, with integral metal tab electrically connected to collector. Mounting requires insulating washer when heatsink is grounded.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Base) | Current-controlled input node | Receives base drive current to modulate collector current; requires series resistor to limit IB per hFE and VCE(sat) targets |
| 2 (Collector) | Main high-current output terminal | Connected to deflection yoke and flyback transformer primary; electrically tied to metal tab and heatsink |
| 3 (Emitter) | Reference and return path | Typically grounded in common-emitter vertical output configuration; carries full IC return current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TV vertical deflection optimized | SOA curve validated for 50–60 Hz pulsed operation with 1.5 A peak current and 150 V VCEO |
| Complementary pair with KSA940 | Matched VBR, IC, and SOA enables balanced push-pull vertical output stage design |
| H2 hFE binning | Narrower DC current gain spread (60–125) improves batch-to-batch consistency in fixed-bias designs |
| Pb-free and halide-free | Meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS709E material composition requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NPN high-voltage switching transistor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSC2073TU | Same die, H1 hFE bin (40–80); identical package and absolute max ratings | Lower hFE requires higher base drive current; less suitable for low-IB designs | Select when tighter hFE lower bound is required or legacy BOM mandates H1 bin |
| 2SC5200 | Higher PC = 150 W, fT = 30 MHz, but VCEO = 230 V - not drop-in; larger TO-3P package | Used in audio power amplifiers and high-fidelity RF drivers - over-specified for TV deflection | Choose only if system requires >25 W dissipation or >4 MHz bandwidth; PCB layout change required |
Compared with KSC2073TU and 2SC5200, the KSC2073H2TU offers optimal hFE range for stable vertical deflection biasing while maintaining pin-compatible fit in TO-220-3LD footprint - critical for repair and legacy CRT service replacement where H2 gain consistency reduces recalibration effort.

FAQ
What is the hFE range for KSC2073H2TU?
The KSC2073H2TU is binned to the H2 classification, specifying a DC current gain (hFE) range of 60 to 125 at VCE = 10 V and IC = 0.5 A. This tighter spread than the H1 bin improves predictability in fixed-base-drive vertical output stages. The hFE value of KSC2073H2TU remains stable across its rated operating temperature range and supports reliable bias point establishment without active feedback compensation.
Is KSC2073H2TU pin-compatible with KSC2073TU?
Yes, KSC2073H2TU and KSC2073TU share identical TO-220-3LD packaging, pinout (Base–Collector–Emitter), and absolute maximum ratings. The only difference is hFE binning: H2 (60–125) vs. H1 (40–80). No PCB layout change is needed when substituting KSC2073H2TU for KSC2073TU, though base resistor values may require minor adjustment to maintain target IC due to the higher minimum hFE of KSC2073H2TU.
What does "DISCONTINUED" mean for KSC2073H2TU?
"DISCONTINUED" indicates that onsemi no longer manufactures KSC2073H2TU for new designs, but Aetrix Electronics maintains active inventory and traceable legacy stock sourced from authorized channels. The device remains fully functional and supported for repair, maintenance, and legacy system sustainment. KSC2073H2TU meets all original specifications and is subject to standard Aetrix quality screening before release.
Can KSC2073H2TU replace KSA940 in a circuit?
No - KSC2073H2TU is an NPN transistor and KSA940 is a PNP device; they are complementary, not interchangeable. Attempting direct substitution would reverse polarity and cause circuit failure. KSC2073H2TU is intended to be used *with* KSA940 in push-pull configurations. The KSC2073H2TU datasheet explicitly states it is the complement to KSA940, confirming their paired usage in symmetric output stages.
What thermal derating applies to KSC2073H2TU above 25 °C?
KSC2073H2TU derates linearly from 25 W at TC = 25 °C to 0 W at TC = 150 °C, yielding a thermal resistance of approximately 5 °C/W (junction-to-case). For reliable operation, heatsink design must ensure case temperature stays below 100 °C under worst-case pulse loading. Derating curves in Figure 6 of the official KSC2073/D datasheet confirm this slope, and actual KSC2073H2TU performance matches the published SOA limits.
