Classification of hFE
The 2SA490-O transistor can have a current gain of 70 to 140. The gain of the 2SA490 will be in the range from 40 to 240, for the 2SA490-R it will be in the range from 40 to 80, for the 2SA490-Y it will be in the range from 120 to 240.
Marking
Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SA490-O might only be marked "A490-O".
Complementary NPN transistor
The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SA490-O is the 2SC790-O.
SMD Version of 2SA490-O transistor
The 2DA1213 (SOT-89), 2DA1213O (SOT-89), 2SA1213 (SOT-89) and 2SA1213-O (SOT-89) is the SMD version of the 2SA490-O transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.
