Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC1079-Y transistor can have a current gain of 70 to 140. The gain of the 2SC1079 will be in the range from 40 to 140, for the 2SC1079-R it will be in the range from 40 to 80.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC1079-Y might only be marked "C1079-Y".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC1079-Y is the 2SA679-Y.You can replace the 2SC1079-Y with the 2SC1585, 2SC1586, 2SC2428, 2SC2431, 2SC2433, 2SC2522, 2SC2522A, 2SC2523, 2SD424, 2SD424-O, 2SD425, 2SD425-O, 2SD426, 2SD426-O, 2SD733, 2SD733K, 2SD753, MJ15001, MJ15001G, MJ15003 or MJ15003G.
