Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC496-Y transistor can have a current gain of 120 to 240. The gain of the 2SC496 will be in the range from 40 to 240, for the 2SC496-O it will be in the range from 70 to 140, for the 2SC496-R it will be in the range from 40 to 80.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC496-Y might only be marked "C496-Y".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC496-Y is the 2SA505-Y.The BCV71 (SOT-23), BSP41 (SOT-223), BSR41 (SOT-89), FMMT491 (SOT-23), FMMT491Q (SOT-23) and KTC4378 (SOT-89) is the SMD version of the 2SC496-Y transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the 2SC496-Y with the 2SD1348, 2SD1682, 2SD1683, 2SD1684, 2SD1722, 2SD1723, 2SD1724, 2SD1725, 2SD600, 2SD794A, BD137, BD137-16, BD137G, BD139, BD139-16, BD139G, BD167, BD169, BD177, BD179, BD189, BD228, BD230, BD235, BD235G, BD237, BD237G, BD377, BD377-16, BD379, BD379-16, BD787, BD787G, BD789, BD791, BDX35, BDX36, BDX37, KSD794A, KSE181, KSE182, KTC2814, KTC2814-Y, MJE181, MJE181G, MJE182, MJE182G, MJE225, MJE242, MJE244, MJE721 or MJE722.
