Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC3242A-F transistor can have a current gain of 250 to 500. The gain of the 2SC3242A will be in the range from 150 to 800, for the 2SC3242A-E it will be in the range from 150 to 300.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC3242A-F might only be marked "C3242A-F".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC3242A-F is the 2SA1282A-F.You can replace the 2SC3242A-F with the 2SC2500, 2SC2500-A, 2SC2500-B, 2SC2500-C, 2SC2500-D, 2SC3266, 2SD965, KSC2500, KSC2500-A, KSC2500-B, KSC2500-C, KSC2500-D, KSC5019 or KTD1146.
