Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SA679-R transistor can have a current gain of 40 to 80. The gain of the 2SA679 will be in the range from 40 to 140, for the 2SA679-Y it will be in the range from 70 to 140.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SA679-R might only be marked "A679-R".The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SA679-R is the 2SC1079-R.You can replace the 2SA679-R with the 2N6030, 2N6438, 2SA1041, 2SA1043, 2SA908, 2SA909, 2SB552, 2SB552-R, 2SB554, 2SB554-R, 2SB555, 2SB555-R, 2SB556, 2SB556-R, 2SB697, 2SB697-C, 2SB697K, 2SB697K-C, 2SB723, MJ15002, MJ15002G, MJ15004 or MJ15004G.
