Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SB996 transistor can have a current gain of 40 to 240. The gain of the 2SB996-O will be in the range from 70 to 140, for the 2SB996-R it will be in the range from 40 to 80, for the 2SB996-Y it will be in the range from 120 to 240.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SB996 might only be marked "B996".The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SB996 is the 2SD1356.The BDP952 (SOT-223) is the SMD version of the 2SB996 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the 2SB996 with the 2SA1488A, 2SA771, 2SB1016, 2SB1017, 2SB1367, 2SB1368, 2SB595, 2SB596, 2SB633, 2SB762A, 2SB942A, 2SB995, BD244B, BD244C, BD538, BD540B, BD540C, BD800, BD802, BD810, BD952, BD954, BD956, BDT84, BDT84F, BDT86, BDT86F, BDT88, BDT88F, BDX78, D44C10, D44C11, D44C12, D45C10, D45C11, D45C12, KSB1017, KSB596, KTB1367, KTB1368, MJE15029, MJE15029G, MJE15031, MJE15031G, MJF15031 or MJF15031G.
