The 2SD261Y 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 2SD261Y transistor can have a current gain of 120 to 240. The gain of the 2SD261 will be in the range from 40 to 400, for the 2SD261G it will be in the range from 200 to 400, for the 2SD261O it will be in the range from 70 to 140, for the 2SD261R it will be in the range from 40 to 80.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SD261Y might only be marked "D261Y".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SD261Y is the 2SA643Y.The KSD261Y is the TO-92 version of the 2SD261Y.You can replace the 2SD261Y with the 2N4401, 2N5172, 2SC1209, 2SD471A, 2SD471AY, KN2222, KN2222A, KSD261, KSD261Y, KSD471A, KSD471AY, KSP2222A, KTC8050, KTC9013, KTN2222, KTN2222A, M8050, MPS2222, MPS2222A, MPS2222AG, MPS2222G, MPS3704, MPS3706, MPS650, MPS650G, MPS6531, MPS6532, MPS6601, MPS6601G, MPS6602, MPS6602G, MPS8050, MPSW01, MPSW01A, MPSW01AG, MPSW01G, NTE123AP, P2N2222A, P2N2222AG, PN2219, PN2219A, PN2222, PN2222A, PN3569, S8050, S9013, SS8050 or ZTX449.
