Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC3856-Y transistor can have a current gain of 90 to 180. 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-P it will be in the range from 70 to 140.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC3856-Y might only be marked "C3856-Y".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC3856-Y is the 2SA1492-Y.You can replace the 2SC3856-Y with the 2SC3519A, 2SC3519A-O, 2SC3519A-P, 2SC3519A-Y, 2SC6011, 2SC6011-Y, 2SC6011A, 2SC6011A-O, 2SC6011A-P, 2SC6011A-Y, 2SD1313, 2SD1718, MJL4281A, MJL4281AG, MJW3281A or MJW3281AG.
