Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC3038 transistor can have a current gain of 15 to 50. The gain of the 2SC3038-L will be in the range from 15 to 30, for the 2SC3038-M it will be in the range from 20 to 40, for the 2SC3038-N it will be in the range from 30 to 50.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC3038 might only be marked "C3038".You can replace the 2SC3038 with the 2SC2898, 2SC3039, 2SC3310, 2SC3447, 2SC3750, 2SC3795, 2SC3795A, 2SC4105, 2SC4106, 2SC4107, 2SC4108, 2SC4160, 2SC4161, 2SC4162, 2SC4163, 2SC4164, 2SC4242, 2SC5241, FJP13007, KSC5021, KSC5021F, KSE13005, KSE13007, KSE13007F, MJE13007, MJE13007A, MJE13007G, MJE13070, MJE13071, MJE16002, MJE16004, MJE8502, MJE8503 or STD13007F.
