Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC4690 transistor can have a current gain of 55 to 160. The gain of the 2SC4690-O will be in the range from 80 to 160, for the 2SC4690-R it will be in the range from 55 to 110.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC4690 might only be marked "C4690".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC4690 is the 2SA1805.You can replace the 2SC4690 with the 2SC2563, 2SC2579, 2SC2580, 2SC2581, 2SC2706, 2SC2837, 2SC3181, 2SC3181-O, 2SC3181N, 2SC3181N-O, 2SC3182, 2SC3182-O, 2SC3280, 2SC3281, 2SC3284, 2SC3519, 2SC3519A, 2SC3519A-O, 2SC3519A-P, 2SC3519A-Y, 2SC3854, 2SC3855, 2SC3907, 2SC4467, 2SC4468, 2SC4689, 2SC5197, 2SC5198, 2SC5199, 2SC5200, 2SC5200N, 2SC5358, 2SC5948, 2SC5949, 2SC6011, 2SC6011A, 2SC6011A-O, 2SC6011A-P, 2SC6011A-Y, 2SD1148, 2SD2155, 2SD712, 2SD998, FJA4310, KTC5200, KTC5200A, KTC5242, KTC5242A, KTD718, KTD718B, KTD998, MJW3281A, MJW3281AG or NTE2328.
