Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC3297 transistor can have a current gain of 70 to 240. The gain of the 2SC3297-O will be in the range from 70 to 140, for the 2SC3297-Y it will be in the range from 120 to 240.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC3297 might only be marked "C3297".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC3297 is the 2SA1305.You can replace the 2SC3297 with the 2SC1061, 2SC1173, 2SC1826, 2SC1985, 2SC2562, 2SC3179, 2SC3239, 2SC3252, 2SC3253, 2SC3254, 2SC3255, 2SC3299, 2SC3345, 2SC3709, 2SC3709A, 2SC3746, 2SC3747, 2SC3748, 2SC3851, 2SC4935, 2SC790, 2SD1061, 2SD1062, 2SD1133, 2SD1134, 2SD1212, 2SD1235, 2SD1266, 2SD1267, 2SD1354, 2SD1363, 2SD1406, 2SD1412, 2SD1444A, 2SD1666, 2SD1667, 2SD1668, 2SD1669, 2SD1761, 2SD1762, 2SD1913, 2SD234, 2SD235, 2SD2374, 2SD288, 2SD313, 2SD553, 2SD795, 2SD856, 2SD857, 2SD880, BD201, BD203, BD241, BD241A, BD243, BD243A, BD301, BD303, BD533, BD535, BD539, BD539A, BD543, BD543A, BD545, BD545A, BD735, BD737, BD795, BD797, BD807, BD933, BD933F, BD935, BD935F, BD949, BDT81, BDT81F, D44H8, KSC1173, KSD1406, KSD2058, KSD288, KSD880, KTC3230, KTC4369 or KTD1351.
