Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SA879-R transistor can have a current gain of 100 to 220. The gain of the 2SA879 will be in the range from 60 to 220, for the 2SA879-Q it will be in the range from 60 to 150.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SA879-R might only be marked "A879-R".The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SA879-R is the 2SC1573-R.The BF623 (SOT-89) and BF823 (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the 2SA879-R transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the 2SA879-R with the 2SA1018, 2SA1018R, 2SA1370, 2SA1371, 2SA1624, 2SA1767, 2SA1767R, 2SB1221, 2SB1221-R or KTA1279.
