Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC3243-E transistor can have a current gain of 150 to 300. The gain of the 2SC3243 will be in the range from 55 to 300, for the 2SC3243-C it will be in the range from 55 to 110, for the 2SC3243-D it will be in the range from 90 to 180.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC3243-E might only be marked "C3243-E".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC3243-E is the 2SA1283-E.The 2SC3444 (SOT-89), 2SC3444-E (SOT-89), BSP41 (SOT-223), BSR41 (SOT-89), FMMTA05 (SOT-23), KST05 (SOT-23), MMBTA05 (SOT-23), PZTA05 (SOT-223) and SMBTA05 (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the 2SC3243-E transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the 2SC3243-E with the 2SD1616A, 2SD667, KSD1616A or KTC1008.
