Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC2238AY transistor can have a current gain of 120 to 240. The gain of the 2SC2238A will be in the range from 70 to 240, for the 2SC2238AO it will be in the range from 70 to 140.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC2238AY might only be marked "C2238AY".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC2238AY is the 2SA968AY.You can replace the 2SC2238AY with the 2SC2238B, 2SC2238BY, 2SC2336, 2SC2336A, 2SC2336B, 2SC3298A, 2SC3298A-Y, 2SC3298B, 2SC3298B-Y, 2SC4382, 2SC4883A, 2SC5171, 2SD1264A, 2SD1264A-P, 2SD772A, 2SD772B, 2SD792A, 2SD792B, KTC2238A, KTC2238AY, KTC4370A, KTC4370AY, KTD2061, KTD2061Y, MJE15032, MJE15032G, MJE15034 or MJE15034G.
