Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC2838-P transistor can have a current gain of 70 to 140. The gain of the 2SC2838 will be in the range from 50 to 180, for the 2SC2838-O it will be in the range from 50 to 100, for the 2SC2838-Y it will be in the range from 90 to 180.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC2838-P might only be marked "C2838-P".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC2838-P is the 2SA1187-P.You can replace the 2SC2838-P with the 2SC2526, 2SC2565, 2SC2773, 2SC2773-P, 2SC2774, 2SC2774-Y, 2SC2921, 2SC2921-P, 2SC2922, 2SC2922-P, 2SC3264, 2SC3264-Y, 2SC3857, 2SC3857-P, 2SC3858, 2SC3858-P or 2SD845.
