Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SB1232 transistor can have a current gain of 50 to 140. The gain of the 2SB1232-P will be in the range from 50 to 100, for the 2SB1232-Q it will be in the range from 70 to 140.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SB1232 might only be marked "B1232".The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SB1232 is the 2SD1842.
