Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC1098A transistor can have a current gain of 40 to 250. The gain of the 2SC1098A-K will be in the range from 120 to 250, for the 2SC1098A-L it will be in the range from 80 to 160, for the 2SC1098A-M it will be in the range from 50 to 100, for the 2SC1098A-N it will be in the range from 40 to 60.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC1098A might only be marked "C1098A".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC1098A is the 2SA636A.
