Pinout of KSA643

The KSA643 is manufactured in a plastic TO-92 case. When looking at the flat side with the leads pointed downward, the three leads emerging from the transistor are, from left to right, the emitter, base, and collector leads. The KSA643C transistor (with suffix "C") is the center collector version of the KSA643.
Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.

Classification of hFE

The KSA643 transistor can have a current gain of 40 to 400. The gain of the KSA643G will be in the range from 200 to 400, for the KSA643O it will be in the range from 70 to 140, for the KSA643R it will be in the range from 40 to 80, for the KSA643Y it will be in the range from 120 to 240.

Complementary NPN transistor

The complementary NPN transistor to the KSA643 is the KSD261.

KSA643 Transistor in TO-92 Package

The 2SA643 is the TO-92 version of the KSA643.
