The 2SC2909-S is manufactured in a plastic TO-92 case. When looking at the flat side with the leads pointed downward, the three leads emerging from the transistor are, from left to right, the emitter, collector, and base leads.
Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC2909-S transistor can have a current gain of 140 to 280. The gain of the 2SC2909 will be in the range from 100 to 400, for the 2SC2909-R it will be in the range from 100 to 200, for the 2SC2909-T it will be in the range from 200 to 400.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC2909-S might only be marked "C2909-S".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC2909-S is the 2SA1207-S.You can replace the 2SC2909-S with the 2SC2230, 2SC2230A, 2SC2383, 2SC2910, 2SC2910-S, 2SC3228, 2SC3332, 2SC3332-S, 2SC3467, 2SC3468, 2SC3478, 2SC3478A, HSD1609S, KSC2383 or KTC3228.
