Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SA1408 transistor can have a current gain of 60 to 200. The gain of the 2SA1408-O will be in the range from 100 to 200, for the 2SA1408-R it will be in the range from 60 to 120.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SA1408 might only be marked "A1408".The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SA1408 is the 2SC3621.You can replace the 2SA1408 with the 2SA1021 or 2SB649A.
