Pinout of 2SA594
Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.
Classification of hFE
The 2SA594 transistor can have a current gain of 40 to 240. The gain of the 2SA594-O will be in the range from 70 to 140, for the 2SA594-R it will be in the range from 40 to 80, for the 2SA594-Y it will be in the range from 120 to 240.
Marking
Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SA594 might only be marked "A594".
Complementary NPN transistor
The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SA594 is the 2SC594.
SMD Version of 2SA594 transistor
The 2SA1483 (SOT-89) and FJX733 (SOT-323) is the SMD version of the 2SA594 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.
