Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SD439-E transistor can have a current gain of 100 to 200. The gain of the 2SD439 will be in the range from 60 to 320, for the 2SD439-D it will be in the range from 60 to 120, for the 2SD439-F it will be in the range from 160 to 320.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SD439-E might only be marked "D439-E".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SD439-E is the 2SB559-E.The BCX68 (SOT-89) and BCX68-16 (SOT-89) is the SMD version of the 2SD439-E transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the 2SD439-E with the 2SC1162, 2SC1162-C, 2SC1368, 2SD1380, 2SD1681, 2SD1681-R, 2SD793, 2SD793-Q, 2SD882, 2SD882O, 2SD882Q, BD185, KSD882, KSD882-O, KSH882, KSH882-O, KTC2804, KTD882, KTD882-O or MJE520.
