Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC1096 transistor can have a current gain of 40 to 250. The gain of the 2SC1096-K will be in the range from 120 to 250, for the 2SC1096-L it will be in the range from 80 to 160, for the 2SC1096-M it will be in the range from 50 to 100, for the 2SC1096-N it will be in the range from 40 to 60.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC1096 might only be marked "C1096".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC1096 is the 2SA634.You can replace the 2SC1096 with the 2SC1098 or 2SC1098A.
