Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC3990-L transistor can have a current gain of 15 to 30. The gain of the 2SC3990 will be in the range from 15 to 50, for the 2SC3990-M it will be in the range from 20 to 40, for the 2SC3990-N it will be in the range from 30 to 50.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC3990-L might only be marked "C3990-L".You can replace the 2SC3990-L with the 2SC3991 or 2SC3991-L.
