Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC2983 transistor can have a current gain of 70 to 240. The gain of the 2SC2983-O will be in the range from 70 to 140, for the 2SC2983-Y it will be in the range from 120 to 240.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC2983 might only be marked "C2983".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC2983 is the 2SA1225.
