Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC4278 transistor can have a current gain of 60 to 320. The gain of the 2SC4278-D will be in the range from 60 to 120, for the 2SC4278-E it will be in the range from 100 to 200, for the 2SC4278-F it will be in the range from 160 to 320.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC4278 might only be marked "C4278".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC4278 is the 2SA1633.
