Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC1568-S transistor can have a current gain of 180 to 280. The gain of the 2SC1568 will be in the range from 90 to 280, for the 2SC1568-Q it will be in the range from 90 to 155, for the 2SC1568-R it will be in the range from 130 to 210.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC1568-S might only be marked "C1568-S".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC1568-S is the 2SA900-S.You can replace the 2SC1568-S with the 2SC1162, 2SC1162-D, 2SC1368, 2SC1846, 2SC1846S, 2SD1380, 2SD1380-R, 2SD1681, 2SD1681-S, 2SD1685, 2SD1685-f, 2SD439, 2SD439-F, 2SD793, 2SD793-P, 2SD826, 2SD826-F, 2SD882, 2SD882P, 2SD882Y, BD185, KSD882, KSD882-Y, KSH882, KSH882-Y, KTD882, KTD882-Y or MJE520.
