Classification of hFE
The 2SB696 transistor can have a current gain of 40 to 320. The gain of the 2SB696-C will be in the range from 40 to 80, for the 2SB696-D it will be in the range from 60 to 120, for the 2SB696-E it will be in the range from 100 to 200, for the 2SB696-F it will be in the range from 160 to 320.
Marking
Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SB696 might only be marked "B696".
Complementary NPN transistor
The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SB696 is the 2SD732.
