Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC512 transistor can have a current gain of 30 to 150. The gain of the 2SC512-O will be in the range from 50 to 150, for the 2SC512-R it will be in the range from 30 to 90.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC512 might only be marked "C512".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC512 is the 2SA512.You can replace the 2SC512 with the 2N5320, 2N5334, 2N5335 or 2SC510.
