Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The BC460-5 transistor can have a current gain of 60 to 130. The gain of the BC460 will be in the range from 40 to 250, for the BC460-4 it will be in the range from 40 to 70, for the BC460-6 it will be in the range from 115 to 250.The complementary NPN transistor to the BC460-5 is the BC440-5.The 2SA1518 (SOT-23), 2SA1519 (SOT-23), 2SA1520 (SOT-23) and 2SA1521 (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the BC460-5 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the BC460-5 with the 2N2102, 2N2102A, 2N4036, 2N4037, 2N4234, 2N4235, 2N4236, 2N5323, 2N6191, 2SA512, 2SA512-O, BC160, BC161, BC461 or BC461-5.
