Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SA1538-D transistor can have a current gain of 60 to 120. The gain of the 2SA1538 will be in the range from 40 to 320, for the 2SA1538-C it will be in the range from 40 to 80, for the 2SA1538-E it will be in the range from 100 to 200, for the 2SA1538-F it will be in the range from 160 to 320.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SA1538-D might only be marked "A1538-D".The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SA1538-D is the 2SC3953-D.You can replace the 2SA1538-D with the 2SA1021, 2SA1021-R, 2SA1220, 2SA1220-R, 2SA1220A, 2SA1220A-R, 2SA1404, 2SA1404-D, 2SA1405, 2SA1405-D, 2SA1408, 2SA1408-R, 2SA1539, 2SA1539-D, 2SA1541, 2SA1541-D, 2SB631K, 2SB631K-D, 2SB649, 2SB649-B, 2SB649A, 2SB649A-B, KSA1220, KSA1220-R, KSA1220A or KSA1220A-R.
