Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The BD176 transistor can have a current gain of 40 to 250. The gain of the BD176-10 will be in the range from 63 to 160, for the BD176-16 it will be in the range from 100 to 250, for the BD176-6 it will be in the range from 40 to 60.The complementary NPN transistor to the BD176 is the BD175.You can replace the BD176 with the BD132, BD178, BD180, BD180G, BD188, BD190, BD786, BD788, BD788G, BD790, MJE235 or MJE252.
