Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SA1538-F transistor can have a current gain of 160 to 320. 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-D it will be in the range from 60 to 120, for the 2SA1538-E it will be in the range from 100 to 200.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SA1538-F might only be marked "A1538-F".The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SA1538-F is the 2SC3953-F.You can replace the 2SA1538-F with the 2SA1021, 2SA1021-Y, 2SA1220, 2SA1220-P, 2SA1220A, 2SA1220A-P, 2SA1248, 2SA1249, 2SA1404, 2SA1404-F, 2SA1405, 2SA1405-F, 2SA1507, 2SA1539, 2SA1539-F, 2SA1541, 2SA1541-F, 2SA795, 2SA795A, 2SB631K, 2SB631K-F, 2SB649, 2SB649-D, KSA1220, KSA1220-Y, KSA1220A, KSA1220A-Y, KTA1704 or KTA1704-GR.
