The 2SC815O is manufactured in a plastic TO-92 case. When looking at the flat side with the leads pointed downward, the three leads emerging from the transistor are, from left to right, the emitter, base, and collector leads.
Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC815O transistor can have a current gain of 70 to 140. The gain of the 2SC815 will be in the range from 40 to 400, for the 2SC815G it will be in the range from 200 to 400, for the 2SC815R it will be in the range from 40 to 80, for the 2SC815Y it will be in the range from 120 to 240.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC815O might only be marked "C815O".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC815O is the 2SA539O.The 2SC2712 (SOT-23), 2SC2712-O (SOT-23), 2SC3803 (SOT-89), 2SC3803-O (SOT-89), 2SC4116 (SOT-323), 2SC4116-O (SOT-323), 2SC4738 (SOT-23), 2SC4738-O (SOT-23), FJX945 (SOT-323), FJX945O (SOT-323), KTC3875 (SOT-23), KTC3875O (SOT-23), KTC3875S (SOT-23) and KTC3875S-O (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the 2SC815O transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.The KSC815O, KTC815-O is the TO-92 version of the 2SC815O.You can replace the 2SC815O with the 2SC1008, 2SC1008O, 2SC1211, BC537, BC537-10, BC538, BC538-10, KSC1008, KSC1008O, KSC815, KSC815O, KSP05, KSP06, KTC815, KTC815-O, KTC815-Y, MPS6717, MPS6717G, MPSW05, MPSW05G, MPSW06, MPSW06G, ZTX451 or ZTX452.
