Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC1846 transistor can have a current gain of 85 to 340. The gain of the 2SC1846Q will be in the range from 85 to 170, for the 2SC1846R it will be in the range from 120 to 240, for the 2SC1846S it will be in the range from 170 to 340.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC1846 might only be marked "C1846".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC1846 is the 2SA885.You can replace the 2SC1846 with the 2SD1722, 2SD1723, BD131, BD165, BD167, BD187, BD189, BD233, BD233G, BD235, BD235G, BD375, BD377, BDX35, BDX36, MJE222, MJE225, MJE521, MJE521G, MJE720 or MJE721.
