Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC1226A-Q transistor can have a current gain of 80 to 160. The gain of the 2SC1226A will be in the range from 80 to 220, for the 2SC1226A-R it will be in the range from 100 to 220.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC1226A-Q might only be marked "C1226A-Q".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC1226A-Q is the 2SA699A-Q.The 2SC2873 (SOT-89) is the SMD version of the 2SC1226A-Q transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the 2SC1226A-Q with the 2SC1098, 2SC1098-L, 2SC1098A or 2SC1098A-L.
