Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The KSB596 transistor can have a current gain of 40 to 240. The gain of the KSB596-O will be in the range from 70 to 140, for the KSB596-R it will be in the range from 40 to 80, for the KSB596-Y it will be in the range from 120 to 240.The complementary NPN transistor to the KSB596 is the KSD526.The BDP952 (SOT-223) is the SMD version of the KSB596 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the KSB596 with the 2SA1488A, 2SA771, 2SB1016, 2SB1017, 2SB1367, 2SB1368, 2SB595, 2SB596, 2SB633, 2SB762A, 2SB942A, 2SB995, 2SB996, 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, KTB1367, KTB1368, MJE15029, MJE15029G, MJE15031, MJE15031G, MJF15031 or MJF15031G.
