The KSC815Y 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 KSC815CY transistor (with suffix "C") is the center collector version of the KSC815Y.
Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The KSC815Y transistor can have a current gain of 120 to 240. The gain of the KSC815 will be in the range from 40 to 400, for the KSC815G it will be in the range from 200 to 400, for the KSC815O it will be in the range from 70 to 140, for the KSC815R it will be in the range from 40 to 80.The complementary PNP transistor to the KSC815Y is the KSA539Y.The 2SC1623 (SOT-23), 2SC2412 (SOT-23), 2SC2412-Q (SOT-23), 2SC2712 (SOT-23), 2SC2712-Y (SOT-23), 2SC3803 (SOT-89), 2SC3803-Y (SOT-89), 2SC4116 (SOT-323), 2SC4116-Y (SOT-323), 2SC4738 (SOT-23), 2SC4738-Y (SOT-23), FJX945 (SOT-323), FJX945Y (SOT-323), KSC1623 (SOT-23), KTC3875 (SOT-23), KTC3875S (SOT-23), KTC3875S-Y (SOT-23), KTC3875Y (SOT-23) and TMBT3904 (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the KSC815Y transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.The 2SC815Y is the TO-92 version of the KSC815Y.You can replace the KSC815Y with the 2SC1008, 2SC1008Y, 2SC1211, 2SC815, 2SC815Y, BC537, BC537-16, BC538, BC538-16, KSC1008, KSC1008Y, KSP05, KSP06, KSP8098, KSP8099, KTC815, KTC815-O, KTC815-Y, MPS651, MPS651G, MPS6717, MPS6717G, MPS8098, MPS8098G, MPS8099, MPS8099G, MPSA05, MPSA05G, MPSA06, MPSA06G, MPSW05, MPSW05G, MPSW06, MPSW06G, PN100, PN4033 or ZTX450.
