Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC3252 transistor can have a current gain of 70 to 280. The gain of the 2SC3252-Q will be in the range from 70 to 140, for the 2SC3252-R it will be in the range from 100 to 200, for the 2SC3252-S it will be in the range from 140 to 280.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC3252 might only be marked "C3252".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC3252 is the 2SA1288.You can replace the 2SC3252 with the 2SC1826, 2SC1985, 2SC1986, 2SC2075, 2SC3179, 2SC3253, 2SC3254, 2SC3255, 2SC3746, 2SC3747, 2SC3748, 2SC3851, 2SC3851A, 2SD1134, 2SD1266, 2SD1266A, 2SD1274, 2SD1274A, 2SD1274B, 2SD1354, 2SD1406, 2SD1666, 2SD1761, 2SD1913, 2SD313, 2SD613, 2SD823, 2SD880, BD203, BD241A, BD241B, BD241C, BD243A, BD243B, BD243C, BD303, BD535, BD537, BD539A, BD539B, BD539C, BD539D, BD543A, BD543B, BD543C, BD545A, BD545B, BD545C, BD797, BD799, BD801, BD807, BD809, BD949, BD951, BD953, BD955, BDT81, BDT81F, BDT83, BDT83F, BDT85, BDT85F, BDT87, BDT87F, BDX77, D44H11, D44H11FP, D44H8, KSD1406, KSD2058, KSD880, KTD1351, MJE15028, MJE15028G, TIP41D or TIP42D.
