The 2SA608N is manufactured in a plastic TO-92 case. When looking at the flat side with the leads pointed downward, the three leads emerging from the transistor are, from left to right, the emitter, collector, and base leads.
Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SA608N transistor can have a current gain of 160 to 560. The gain of the 2SA608N-F will be in the range from 160 to 320, for the 2SA608N-G it will be in the range from 280 to 560.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SA608N might only be marked "A608N".The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SA608N is the 2SC536N.The 2SA1037 (SOT-23), 2SA812 (SOT-23), FJX733 (SOT-323) and KSA812 (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the 2SA608N transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the 2SA608N with the 2SA1246, 2SA1317, 2SA1318, 2SA1391, 2SA1392, 2SA1481, 2SA1522, 2SA1523, 2SA1524, 2SA1525, 2SA1526, 2SA1527, 2SA1528, 2SA1529, 2SB1116, 2SB1229, 2SB560, 2SB892, 2SB985, A733, H733, KSA733C, KSB1116 or KSB1116S.
