Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC2383 transistor can have a current gain of 60 to 320. The gain of the 2SC2383-Y will be in the range from 160 to 320, for the 2SC2383O it will be in the range from 100 to 200, for the 2SC2383R it will be in the range from 60 to 120.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC2383 might only be marked "C2383".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC2383 is the 2SA1013.The KST43 (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the 2SC2383 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the 2SC2383 with the 2SC3228, KSC2383 or KTC3228.
