Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC1079-R transistor can have a current gain of 40 to 80. The gain of the 2SC1079 will be in the range from 40 to 140, for the 2SC1079-Y it will be in the range from 70 to 140.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC1079-R might only be marked "C1079-R".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC1079-R is the 2SA679-R.You can replace the 2SC1079-R with the 2N5038, 2N5038G, 2N5039, 2N5630, 2N5672, 2N6339, 2N6339G, 2N6340, 2N6340G, 2N6341, 2N6341G, 2SC2428, 2SC2431, 2SC2433, 2SD424, 2SD424-R, 2SD425, 2SD425-R, 2SD426, 2SD426-R, 2SD552, 2SD552-R, 2SD733, 2SD733-C, 2SD733K, 2SD733K-C, 2SD753, MJ15001, MJ15001G, MJ15003 or MJ15003G.
