Pinout of 2SB870
Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.
Classification of hFE
The 2SB870 transistor can have a current gain of 60 to 260. The gain of the 2SB870-P will be in the range from 130 to 260, for the 2SB870-Q it will be in the range from 90 to 180, for the 2SB870-R it will be in the range from 60 to 120.
Marking
Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SB870 might only be marked "B870".
Complementary NPN transistor
The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SB870 is the 2SD866.
