The KSP8598C 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, collector, and base leads. Suffix "C" means center collector in KSP8598.
Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The complementary NPN transistor to the KSP8598C is the KSP8098C.The FMMTA55 (SOT-23), KST55 (SOT-23), MMBTA55 (SOT-23), PZTA55 (SOT-223) and SMBTA55 (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the KSP8598C transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the KSP8598C with the 2SA1283, 2SA1284, 2SA1450, 2SA935, 2SA984K, 2SB560, 2SB647, KSA708C, KSP2907AC or KSP8599C.
