Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SB557-R transistor can have a current gain of 40 to 80. The gain of the 2SB557 will be in the range from 40 to 140, for the 2SB557-O it will be in the range from 70 to 140.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SB557-R might only be marked "B557-R".The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SB557-R is the 2SD427-R.You can replace the 2SB557-R with the 2N6030, 2N6230, 2N6438, 2SA1007, 2SA1007-S, 2SA1007A, 2SA1007A-S, 2SA1041, 2SA1043, 2SA679, 2SA679-R, 2SA745A, 2SA747, 2SA747A, 2SA908, 2SA909, 2SB552, 2SB552-R, 2SB554, 2SB554-R, 2SB555, 2SB555-R, 2SB556, 2SB556-R, 2SB600, 2SB600-S, 2SB696, 2SB696-C, 2SB697, 2SB697-C, 2SB697K, 2SB697K-C, 2SB705, 2SB705-S, 2SB705A, 2SB705A-S, 2SB705B, 2SB705B-S, 2SB706, 2SB706-S, 2SB706A, 2SB706A-S, 2SB723, MJ15002, MJ15002G, MJ15004 or MJ15004G.
