The MPSA56 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.
Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The complementary NPN transistor to the MPSA56 is the MPSA06.The 2SA1202-Y (SOT-89), 2SA1368-E (SOT-89), 2SA1620-Y (SOT-23), KTA1662Y (SOT-89), MMBTA56 (SOT-23), PMBTA56 (SOT-23), PZTA56 (SOT-223) and SMBTA56 (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the MPSA56 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the MPSA56 with the 2N5401Y, 2SA709G, 2SA709Y, BC528-16, BC528-25, KSA709G, KSA709Y, KSP8599, MPS8599, MPS8599G, MPSA56G, ZTX795A, ZTX953 or ZTX955.The MPSA56G transistor is the lead-free version of the MPSA56.
