Classification of hFE
The 2SA812 transistor can have a current gain of 90 to 600. The gain of the 2SA812-M3 will be in the range from 60 to 90, for the 2SA812-M4 it will be in the range from 90 to 180, for the 2SA812-M5 it will be in the range from 135 to 270, for the 2SA812-M6 it will be in the range from 200 to 400, for the 2SA812-M7 it will be in the range from 300 to 600.
Marking
Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SA812 might only be marked "A812".
