Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SA748 transistor can have a current gain of 50 to 220. The gain of the 2SA748-P will be in the range from 50 to 100, for the 2SA748-Q it will be in the range from 80 to 160, for the 2SA748-R it will be in the range from 120 to 220.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SA748 might only be marked "A748".The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SA748 is the 2SC1398.You can replace the 2SA748 with the 2SA1262, 2SA1488, 2SA1488A, 2SA489, 2SA614, 2SA770, 2SA771, 2SB1016, 2SB1017, 2SB1367, 2SB1368, 2SB434, 2SB507, 2SB514, 2SB595, 2SB596, 2SB633, 2SB761, 2SB761A, 2SB762, 2SB762A, 2SB942, 2SB942A, 2SB995, 2SB996, BD204, BD240A, BD240B, BD240C, BD242A, BD242B, BD242C, BD244A, BD244B, BD244C, BD304, BD536, BD538, BD540A, BD540B, BD540C, BD798, BD800, BD802, BD808, BD810, BD936, BD936F, BD938, BD938F, BD940, BD940F, BD950, BD952, BD954, BDT82, BDT82F, BDT84, BDT84F, BDT86, BDT86F, BDX78, D44C10, D44C11, D44C12, D44C7, D44C8, D44C9, D45C10, D45C11, D45C12, D45C7, D45C8, D45C9, KSA614, KSB1017, KSB596, KTB1367 or KTB1368.
