The 2SC2396-D 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 2SC2396-D transistor can have a current gain of 250 to 500. The gain of the 2SC2396 will be in the range from 250 to 1200, for the 2SC2396-E it will be in the range from 400 to 800, for the 2SC2396-F it will be in the range from 600 to 1200.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC2396-D might only be marked "C2396-D".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC2396-D is the 2SA1025-D.The KST2484 (SOT-23) and MMBT2484 (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the 2SC2396-D transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the 2SC2396-D with the 2SC1844, 2SC2240, 2SC2459, 2SC2543, 2SC2543-D, 2SC2544, 2SC2544-D, 2SC2545, 2SC2545-D, 2SC2546, 2SC2546-D, 2SC2547, 2SC2547-D, 2SC3200, 2SC3201, 2SC3245, 2SC3245-F, 2SC3329, 2SC6043, 2SD438, KTC1006 or KTC3200.
