The KSC1008Y 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 KSC1008CY transistor (with suffix "C") is the center collector version of the KSC1008Y.
Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The KSC1008Y transistor can have a current gain of 120 to 240. 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 KSC1008R it will be in the range from 40 to 80.The complementary PNP transistor to the KSC1008Y is the KSA708Y.The BCV71 (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the KSC1008Y transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.The 2SC1008Y is the TO-92 version of the KSC1008Y.You can replace the KSC1008Y with the 2SC1008, 2SC1008Y, BC537, BC537-16, BC538, BC538-16, MPS651, MPS651G, PN4033 or ZTX454.
