Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC3228 transistor can have a current gain of 60 to 320. The gain of the 2SC3228 will be in the range from 60 to 320, for the 2SC3228-O it will be in the range from 100 to 200, for the 2SC3228-R it will be in the range from 60 to 120, for the 2SC3228-Y it will be in the range from 160 to 320.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC3228 might only be marked "C3228".The KST43 (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the 2SC3228 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.The KTC3228 is the TO-92 version of the 2SC3228.You can replace the 2SC3228 with the 2SC2383, KSC2383 or KTC3228.
