Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SC5242R transistor can have a current gain of 55 to 100. The gain of the 2SC5242 will be in the range from 55 to 160, for the 2SC5242O it will be in the range from 80 to 160.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SC5242R might only be marked "C5242R".The complementary PNP transistor to the 2SC5242R is the 2SA1962R.You can replace the 2SC5242R with the 2SD1313, FJA4313, FJA4313R, FJL4315 or FJL4315R.
