The 2SC1627 is manufactured in a plastic TO-92 case. When looking at the flat side with the leads pointed downward, the three leads emerging from the transistor are, from left to right, the emitter, collector, and base leads.
Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC1627 transistor can have a current gain of 70 to 240. The gain of the 2SC1627-O will be in the range from 70 to 140, for the 2SC1627-Y it will be in the range from 120 to 240.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC1627 might only be marked "C1627".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC1627 is the 2SA817.The 2SC4209 (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the 2SC1627 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the 2SC1627 with the 2SC1627A, 2SC2274K, 2SC2383, 2SC3228, 2SC3244, 2SC3328, 2SD438, 2SD667, KSC1009C, KSC2383, KTC3227 or KTC3228.
