Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC5242O transistor can have a current gain of 80 to 160. The gain of the 2SC5242 will be in the range from 55 to 160, for the 2SC5242R it will be in the range from 55 to 100.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC5242O might only be marked "C5242O".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC5242O is the 2SA1962O.You can replace the 2SC5242O with the 2SD1313, FJA4313, FJA4313O, FJL4315 or FJL4315O.
