Pinout of 2SA473Y
Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.
Classification of hFE
The 2SA473Y transistor can have a current gain of 120 to 240. The gain of the 2SA473 will be in the range from 70 to 240, for the 2SA473O it will be in the range from 70 to 140.
Marking
Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SA473Y might only be marked "A473Y".
Complementary NPN transistor
The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SA473Y is the 2SC1173Y.
SMD Version of 2SA473Y transistor
The 2SA1203 (SOT-89) and KTA1663 (SOT-89) is the SMD version of the 2SA473Y transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.
