The 2SA952-L 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 2SA952-L transistor can have a current gain of 135 to 270. The gain of the 2SA952 will be in the range from 90 to 400, for the 2SA952-K it will be in the range from 200 to 400, for the 2SA952-M it will be in the range from 90 to 180.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SA952-L might only be marked "A952-L".The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SA952-L is the 2SC2001-L.The 2SA1588 (SOT-323), BC808 (SOT-23), BC808-16 (SOT-23), BC808-16W (SOT-323), BC808W (SOT-323), KTA1505 (SOT-23) and KTA1505S (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the 2SA952-L transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the 2SA952-L with the 2N4952, 2N4954, 2SA1150, 2SA1271, 2SA1273, 2SA1534, 2SA1534A, 2SA1680, 2SA1761, 2SA683, 2SA684, 2SA928A, 2SA950, 2SA966, 2SB1116, 2SB1116-L, 2SB1229, 2SB564, 2SB564L, 2SB598, 2SB621, 2SB621A, 2SB740, 2SB764, 2SB892, 2SB985, KSA928A, KSB1116, KSB1116-Y, KSB1116S, KSB1116S-Y, KSB564AC, KSB810, KSB811, KTA1271, KTA1272, KTA1273, KTA1282, KTA1283, KTB764 or STB1277.
