Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC2344E transistor can have a current gain of 100 to 200. The gain of the 2SC2344 will be in the range from 60 to 200, for the 2SC2344D it will be in the range from 60 to 120.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC2344E might only be marked "C2344E".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC2344E is the 2SA1011E.You can replace the 2SC2344E with the 2SC2238, 2SC2238A, 2SC2238B, 2SC2336, 2SC2336-Q, 2SC2336A, 2SC2336A-Q, 2SC2336B, 2SC2336B-Q, 2SC3298, 2SC3298A, 2SC3298B, 2SC4382, 2SC4883A, 2SC5171, 2SC5248, 2SC5248-E, 2SD1264A, 2SD1264A-P, 2SD1763A, 2SD1763A-F, 2SD610, 2SD610-Q, 2SD772A, 2SD772B, 2SD792A, 2SD792B, KTC2238, KTC2238A, KTC4370, KTC4370A, KTD2061, MJE15032, MJE15032G, TIP41F or TIP42F.
