Classification of hFE
The 2SD438-D transistor can have a current gain of 60 to 120. The gain of the 2SD438 will be in the range from 60 to 560, for the 2SD438-E it will be in the range from 100 to 200, for the 2SD438-F it will be in the range from 160 to 320, for the 2SD438-G it will be in the range from 280 to 560.
Marking
Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SD438-D might only be marked "D438-D".
Complementary PNP transistor
The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SD438-D is the 2SB560-D.
SMD Version of 2SD438-D transistor
The 2SC3438 (SOT-89) and 2SC3438-C (SOT-89) is the SMD version of the 2SD438-D transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.
