Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SA1217 transistor can have a current gain of 80 to 240. The gain of the 2SA1217-O will be in the range from 80 to 160, for the 2SA1217-Y it will be in the range from 120 to 240.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SA1217 might only be marked "A1217".The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SA1217 is the 2SC2877.The 2DA1213 (SOT-89) and 2SA1213 (SOT-89) is the SMD version of the 2SA1217 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the 2SA1217 with the 2SA1359, 2SB1165, 2SB1166, 2SB744, 2SB744A, BD132, BD176, BD178, BD180, BD180G, BD188, BD190, BD786, BD788, BD788G, BD790, KSB744, KSB744A, KSE170, KSE171, KSE172, MJE170, MJE170G, MJE171, MJE171G, MJE172, MJE172G, MJE232, MJE235 or MJE252.
