Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SA683 transistor can have a current gain of 85 to 340. The gain of the 2SA683-Q will be in the range from 85 to 170, for the 2SA683-R it will be in the range from 120 to 240, for the 2SA683-S it will be in the range from 170 to 340.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SA683 might only be marked "A683".The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SA683 is the 2SC1383.The 2SA1588 (SOT-323), 2SB766 (SOT-89), KTA1505 (SOT-23) and KTA1505S (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the 2SA683 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the 2SA683 with the 2N4954, 2SA1534, 2SA1534A, 2SA684, 2SB598, 2SB621, 2SB621A, KSB564AC or KSB811.
