Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SD468 transistor can have a current gain of 85 to 240. The gain of the 2SD468-B will be in the range from 85 to 170, for the 2SD468-C it will be in the range from 120 to 240.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SD468 might only be marked "D468".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SD468 is the 2SB562.The 2SD874 (SOT-89), BCP68 (SOT-223) and BCX68 (SOT-89) is the SMD version of the 2SD468 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the 2SD468 with the 2SC1383, 2SC3940, 2SD545, 2SD592, 2SD592A or KTC3211.
