Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC496-O transistor can have a current gain of 70 to 140. The gain of the 2SC496 will be in the range from 40 to 240, for the 2SC496-R it will be in the range from 40 to 80, for the 2SC496-Y it will be in the range from 120 to 240.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC496-O might only be marked "C496-O".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC496-O is the 2SA505-O.The FMMT451 (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the 2SC496-O transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the 2SC496-O with the 2N4922, 2N4922G, 2N4923, 2N4923G, 2SC1212, 2SC1212A, 2SD1722, 2SD1722-Q, 2SD1723, 2SD1723-Q, 2SD1724, 2SD1724-Q, 2SD1725, 2SD1725-Q, 2SD600, 2SD794A, BD137, BD137-10, BD137G, BD139, BD139-10, BD139G, BD167, BD169, BD177, BD177-10, BD179, BD179-10, BD179G, BD189, BD228, BD230, BD235, BD235G, BD237, BD237G, BD377, BD377-10, BD379, BD379-10, BD439, BD439G, BD441, BD441G, BD787, BD787G, BD789, BD791, BDX35, BDX36, BDX37, KSD794A, KSE181, KSE182, KTC2814, KTC2814-O, MJE181, MJE181G, MJE182, MJE182G, MJE223, MJE224, MJE225, MJE240, MJE241, MJE242, MJE243, MJE243G, MJE244, MJE721 or MJE722.
