Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC2562 transistor can have a current gain of 70 to 240. The gain of the 2SC2562O will be in the range from 70 to 140, for the 2SC2562Y it will be in the range from 120 to 240.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC2562 might only be marked "C2562".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC2562 is the 2SA1012.You can replace the 2SC2562 with the 2SC1985, 2SC1986, 2SC2334, 2SC3239, 2SC3253, 2SC3254, 2SC3255, 2SC3258, 2SC3299, 2SC3308, 2SC3345, 2SC3346, 2SC3540, 2SC3709, 2SC3709A, 2SC3710, 2SC3710A, 2SC3746, 2SC3747, 2SC3748, 2SD1061, 2SD1062, 2SD1270, 2SD1271, 2SD1274, 2SD1274A, 2SD1274B, 2SD1355, 2SD1362, 2SD1363, 2SD1407, 2SD1407A, 2SD1411, 2SD1411A, 2SD1412, 2SD1667, 2SD1668, 2SD1669, 2SD2059, 2SD525, 2SD553, 2SD613, 2SD823, 2SD866, 2SD866A, BD203, BD243A, BD243B, BD243C, BD303, BD535, BD537, BD539A, BD539B, BD539C, BD543A, BD543B, BD543C, BD545A, BD545B, BD545C, BD797, BD799, BD801, BD807, BD809, BD949, BD951, BD953, BDT81, BDT81F, BDT83, BDT83F, BDT85, BDT85F, BDX77, D44H11, D44H11FP, D44H8, KSC2334, KTC2018, KTC2028 or KTD2059.
