Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC400 transistor can have a current gain of 60 to 350. The gain of the 2SC400-GR will be in the range from 170 to 350, for the 2SC400-O it will be in the range from 60 to 120, for the 2SC400-Y it will be in the range from 100 to 200.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC400 might only be marked "C400".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC400 is the 2SA500.The MMBTH10 (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the 2SC400 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.
