The KSC1008O 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 KSC1008CO transistor (with suffix "C") is the center collector version of the KSC1008O.
Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The KSC1008O transistor can have a current gain of 70 to 140. The gain of the KSC1008 will be in the range from 40 to 400, for the KSC1008G it will be in the range from 200 to 400, 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 KSC1008O is the KSA708O.The 2SC1008O is the TO-92 version of the KSC1008O.You can replace the KSC1008O with the 2SC1008, 2SC1008O, BC537, BC537-10, BC538, BC538-10, ZTX451, ZTX452 or ZTX453.
