Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SA1096 transistor can have a current gain of 80 to 220. The gain of the 2SA1096-Q will be in the range from 80 to 160, for the 2SA1096-R it will be in the range from 120 to 220.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SA1096 might only be marked "A1096".The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SA1096 is the 2SC2497.The KTA1668 (SOT-89) is the SMD version of the 2SA1096 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the 2SA1096 with the 2SA1096A, 2SA1214, 2SB1165, 2SB1166, 2SB1167, 2SB1168, 2SB744A, BD138, BD138G, BD140, BD140G, BD168, BD170, BD178, BD180, BD180G, BD190, BD229, BD231, BD236, BD236G, BD238, BD238G, BD378, BD380, BD788, BD788G, BD790, BD792, KSB744A, KSE171, KSE172, KTA1715, MJE171, MJE171G, MJE172, MJE172G, MJE235, MJE252, MJE254, MJE711 or MJE712.
