Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SA715-D transistor can have a current gain of 160 to 320. The gain of the 2SA715 will be in the range from 60 to 320, for the 2SA715-B it will be in the range from 60 to 120, for the 2SA715-C it will be in the range from 100 to 200.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SA715-D might only be marked "A715-D".The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SA715-D is the 2SC1162-D.You can replace the 2SA715-D with the 2SB1142, 2SB1143, 2SB1165, 2SB1166, 2SB744, 2SB744-Y, 2SB744A, 2SB744A-Y, 2SB986, BD132, BD188, BD190, KSB744, KSB744-Y, KSB744A, KSB744A-Y, MJE232 or MJE235.
