Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC2877 transistor can have a current gain of 100 to 240. The gain of the 2SC2877-O will be in the range from 100 to 160, for the 2SC2877-Y it will be in the range from 140 to 240.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC2877 might only be marked "C2877".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC2877 is the 2SA1217.The 2SC2873 (SOT-89), BDP947 (SOT-223) and FMMT619 (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the 2SC2877 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the 2SC2877 with the 2SC3422, 2SD1348, 2SD1683, 2SD1722, 2SD1723, 2SD794, 2SD794A, BD131, BD175, BD175-16, BD177, BD179, BD187, BD189, BD785, BD787, BD787G, BD789, BDX35, BDX36, BDX37, KSD794, KSD794A, KSE180, KSE181, KSE182, MJE180, MJE180G, MJE181, MJE181G, MJE182, MJE182G, MJE222, MJE225 or MJE242.
