Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC2238AO transistor can have a current gain of 70 to 140. The gain of the 2SC2238A will be in the range from 70 to 240, for the 2SC2238AY it will be in the range from 120 to 240.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC2238AO might only be marked "C2238AO".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC2238AO is the 2SA968AO.You can replace the 2SC2238AO with the 2SC2238B, 2SC2238BO, 2SC2336, 2SC2336A, 2SC2336B, 2SC3298A, 2SC3298A-O, 2SC3298B, 2SC3298B-O, 2SC4382, 2SC4883A, 2SD1264A, 2SD1264A-Q, 2SD610, 2SD772A, 2SD772B, 2SD792A, 2SD792B, FJP5200, FJPF5200, KTC2238A, KTC2238AO, KTC4370A, KTC4370AO, KTD2061, KTD2061O, MJE15032 or MJE15032G.
