Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC1212A transistor can have a current gain of 60 to 200. The gain of the 2SC1212A-B will be in the range from 60 to 120, for the 2SC1212A-C it will be in the range from 100 to 200.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC1212A might only be marked "C1212A".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC1212A is the 2SA743A.The 2SC3438 (SOT-89), BCP56 (SOT-223), FMMTA06 (SOT-23) and KST06 (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the 2SC1212A transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the 2SC1212A with the 2SC2481, 2SC2690, 2SC2690A, 2SC3621, 2SD600, 2SD600K, 2SD669, 2SD669A, BD139, BD139G, BD169, BD179, BD230, BD237, BD237G, BD379, BD789, BD791, KSC2690, KSC2690A, KSE182, MJE182, MJE182G, MJE240, MJE242, MJE244 or MJE722.
