Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC495 transistor can have a current gain of 40 to 240. The gain of the 2SC495-O will be in the range from 70 to 140, for the 2SC495-R it will be in the range from 40 to 80, for the 2SC495-Y it will be in the range from 120 to 240.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC495 might only be marked "C495".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC495 is the 2SA496.You can replace the 2SC495 with the 2SC496, BD131, BD135, BD135G, BD137, BD137G, BD165, BD167, BD175, BD177, BD185, BD187, BD189, BD226, BD228, BD233, BD233G, BD235, BD235G, BD375, BD377, BD785, BD787, BD787G, MJE222, MJE225, MJE520, MJE521, MJE521G, MJE720 or MJE721.
