Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SD1724-S transistor can have a current gain of 140 to 280. The gain of the 2SD1724 will be in the range from 70 to 400, for the 2SD1724-Q it will be in the range from 70 to 140, for the 2SD1724-R it will be in the range from 100 to 200, for the 2SD1724-R it will be in the range from 200 to 400.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SD1724-S might only be marked "D1724-S".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SD1724-S is the 2SB1167-S.The BDP953 (SOT-223) and BDP955 (SOT-223) is the SMD version of the 2SD1724-S transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the 2SD1724-S with the 2SD1725, 2SD1725-S or MJE244.
