Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SA1537-C transistor can have a current gain of 40 to 80. The gain of the 2SA1537 will be in the range from 40 to 320, for the 2SA1537-D it will be in the range from 60 to 120, for the 2SA1537-E it will be in the range from 100 to 200, for the 2SA1537-F it will be in the range from 160 to 320.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SA1537-C might only be marked "A1537-C".The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SA1537-C is the 2SC3952-C.You can replace the 2SA1537-C with the 2N4920, 2N4920G, 2N5195, 2N5195G, 2SB548, 2SB548-S, 2SB549, 2SB549-S, BD140, BD140-6, BD140G, BD170, BD180, BD180G, BD231, BD238, BD238G, BD380, BD380-6, BD442, BD442G, BD790, BD792, MJE250, MJE251, MJE252, MJE253, MJE253G, MJE254, MJE712 or NTE185.
