Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC3117 transistor can have a current gain of 100 to 400. The gain of the 2SC3117-R will be in the range from 100 to 200, for the 2SC3117-S it will be in the range from 140 to 280, for the 2SC3117-T it will be in the range from 200 to 400.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC3117 might only be marked "C3117".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC3117 is the 2SA1249.You can replace the 2SC3117 with the 2SC3902.
