The 2N3903 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 complementary PNP transistor to the 2N3903 is the 2N3905.The 2SC3803 (SOT-89) and FMMT3903 (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the 2N3903 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the 2N3903 with the 2N4400, 2SC1008, 2SC815, BC537, BC538, KSC1008, KSC815, KSP05, KSP06, MPS6717, MPS6717G, ZTX451 or ZTX452.
