Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SD2281 transistor can have a current gain of 70 to 280. The gain of the 2SD2281-Q will be in the range from 70 to 140, for the 2SD2281-R it will be in the range from 100 to 200, for the 2SD2281-S it will be in the range from 140 to 280.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SD2281 might only be marked "D2281".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SD2281 is the 2SB1508.You can replace the 2SD2281 with the 2SD2282.
