The KSC815 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 KSC815C transistor (with suffix "C") is the center collector version of the KSC815.
Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The KSC815 transistor can have a current gain of 40 to 400. The gain of the KSC815G 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, for the KSC815Y it will be in the range from 120 to 240.The complementary PNP transistor to the KSC815 is the KSA539.The 2SC815 is the TO-92 version of the KSC815.You can replace the KSC815 with the 2SC1008, 2SC815, BC537, BC538 or KSC1008.
