The KSC1008R 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 KSC1008CR transistor (with suffix "C") is the center collector version of the KSC1008R.
Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The KSC1008R transistor can have a current gain of 40 to 80. 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 KSC1008O it will be in the range from 70 to 140, for the KSC1008Y it will be in the range from 120 to 240.The complementary PNP transistor to the KSC1008R is the KSA708R.The 2SC1008R is the TO-92 version of the KSC1008R.You can replace the KSC1008R with the 2SC1008, 2SC1008R, BC537, BC537-6, BC538, BC538-6, ZTX452 or ZTX453.
