Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC3420 transistor can have a current gain of 140 to 600. The gain of the 2SC3420-BL will be in the range from 300 to 600, for the 2SC3420-GL it will be in the range from 200 to 400, for the 2SC3420-GL it will be in the range from 200 to 400, for the 2SC3420-Y it will be in the range from 140 to 240.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC3420 might only be marked "C3420".The 2SD1624 (SOT-89) is the SMD version of the 2SC3420 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.
