Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SA496-O transistor can have a current gain of 70 to 140. The gain of the 2SA496 will be in the range from 40 to 240, for the 2SA496-R it will be in the range from 40 to 80, for the 2SA496-Y it will be in the range from 120 to 240.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SA496-O might only be marked "A496-O".The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SA496-O is the 2SC495-O.You can replace the 2SA496-O with the 2N4918, 2N4918G, 2N4919, 2N4919G, 2SA1214, 2SA505, 2SA505-O, 2SA715, 2SA743, 2SA963, 2SB1165, 2SB1165-Q, 2SB1166, 2SB1166-Q, 2SB743, 2SB744, 2SB744A, 2SB772, BD132, BD136, BD136-10, BD136G, BD138, BD138-10, BD138G, BD166, BD168, BD176, BD176-10, BD178, BD178-10, BD186, BD188, BD190, BD227, BD229, BD234, BD234G, BD236, BD236G, BD376, BD376-10, BD378, BD378-10, BD440, BD440G, BD786, BD788, BD788G, KSB744, KSB744A, KSB772, KSE170, KSE171, KSH772, KTA1705, KTA1705-O, KTA1715, KTA1715-O, MJE170, MJE170G, MJE171, MJE171G, MJE230, MJE231, MJE232, MJE233, MJE234, MJE235, MJE370, MJE371, MJE371G, MJE710 or MJE711.
