Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SD716 transistor can have a current gain of 55 to 160. The gain of the 2SD716-O will be in the range from 80 to 160, for the 2SD716-R it will be in the range from 55 to 110.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SD716 might only be marked "D716".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SD716 is the 2SB686.The BDP953 (SOT-223) is the SMD version of the 2SD716 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the 2SD716 with the 2SC2563, 2SC2578, 2SC2579, 2SC2580, 2SC2581, 2SC2706, 2SC2837, 2SC3181, 2SC3181-O, 2SC3181N, 2SC3181N-O, 2SC3182, 2SC3182-O, 2SC3280, 2SC3281, 2SC3284, 2SC3519, 2SC3519A, 2SC3519A-O, 2SC3519A-P, 2SC3519A-Y, 2SC3854, 2SC3855, 2SC3907, 2SC4467, 2SC4468, 2SC4689, 2SC4690, 2SC5197, 2SC5198, 2SC5199, 2SC5948, 2SC5949, 2SC6011, 2SD1148, 2SD2155, 2SD712, 2SD731, 2SD998, BD245C, BD249C, BDV95, FJA4310, KTD718, KTD718B, KTD998, NTE2328 or TIP35CA.
