The 2SC1008O 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, base, and collector leads.
Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC1008O transistor can have a current gain of 70 to 140. The gain of the 2SC1008 will be in the range from 40 to 400, for the 2SC1008G it will be in the range from 200 to 400, for the 2SC1008R it will be in the range from 40 to 80, for the 2SC1008Y it will be in the range from 120 to 240.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC1008O might only be marked "C1008O".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC1008O is the 2SA708O.The KSC1008O is the TO-92 version of the 2SC1008O.You can replace the 2SC1008O with the BC537, BC537-10, BC538, BC538-10, KSC1008, KSC1008O, ZTX451, ZTX452 or ZTX453.
