Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.

Classification of hFE

The 2SA500-Y transistor can have a current gain of 100 to 200. The gain of the 2SA500 will be in the range from 60 to 200, for the 2SA500-O it will be in the range from 60 to 120.

Marking

Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SA500-Y might only be marked "A500-Y".

Complementary NPN transistor

The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SA500-Y is the 2SC400-Y.
