Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SA496-Y transistor can have a current gain of 120 to 240. The gain of the 2SA496 will be in the range from 40 to 240, for the 2SA496-O it will be in the range from 70 to 140, for the 2SA496-R it will be in the range from 40 to 80.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SA496-Y might only be marked "A496-Y".The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SA496-Y is the 2SC495-Y.The 2SA1036 (SOT-23), 2SA1036-Q (SOT-23), BCW67 (SOT-23) and BCW67A (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the 2SA496-Y transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the 2SA496-Y with the 2SA1214, 2SA1217, 2SA1217-Y, 2SA1359, 2SA1359-Y, 2SA505, 2SA505-Y, 2SA715, 2SA885, 2SA885R, 2SA985R, 2SB1009, 2SB1009-Q, 2SB1142, 2SB1143, 2SB1165, 2SB1166, 2SB743, 2SB744, 2SB744A, 2SB772, 2SB986, BD132, BD136, BD136-16, BD136G, BD138, BD138-16, BD138G, BD166, BD168, BD176, BD176-16, BD178, BD186, BD188, BD190, BD227, BD229, BD234, BD234G, BD236, BD236G, BD376, BD376-16, BD378, BD378-16, BD786, BD788, BD788G, KSB744, KSB744A, KSB772, KSE170, KSE171, KSH772, KTA1705, KTA1705-Y, KTA1715, KTA1715-Y, KTB772, MJE170, MJE170G, MJE171, MJE171G, MJE232, MJE235, MJE370, MJE371, MJE371G, MJE710 or MJE711.
