Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC3856-P transistor can have a current gain of 70 to 140. The gain of the 2SC3856 will be in the range from 80 to 180, for the 2SC3856-O it will be in the range from 50 to 100, for the 2SC3856-Y it will be in the range from 90 to 180.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC3856-P might only be marked "C3856-P".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC3856-P is the 2SA1492-P.You can replace the 2SC3856-P with the 2SC3263, 2SC3263-Y, 2SC3281, 2SC3519A, 2SC3519A-O, 2SC3519A-P, 2SC3519A-Y, 2SC5200, 2SC5200N, 2SC5242, 2SC5358, 2SC5949, 2SC6011, 2SC6011-P, 2SC6011A, 2SC6011A-O, 2SC6011A-P, 2SC6011A-Y, 2SC6145, 2SC6145-Y, 2SC6145A, 2SC6145A-Y, 2SD1313, 2SD1718, 2SD2155, FJA4313, FJL4315, KTC5200, KTC5200A, KTC5242, KTC5242A, MAG6333, MAG6333B, MG6330, MG6330-R, MG6331, MG6331-R, MJW3281A, MJW3281AG or NTE2328.
