The KSC1008 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 KSC1008C transistor (with suffix "C") is the center collector version of the KSC1008.
Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The KSC1008 transistor can have a current gain of 40 to 400. The gain of the KSC1008G will be in the range from 200 to 400, for the KSC1008O it will be in the range from 70 to 140, for the KSC1008R it will be in the range from 40 to 80, for the KSC1008Y it will be in the range from 120 to 240.The complementary PNP transistor to the KSC1008 is the KSA708.The 2SC1008 is the TO-92 version of the KSC1008.You can replace the KSC1008 with the 2SC1008, BC537 or BC538.
