Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The BD379-16 transistor can have a current gain of 100 to 250. The gain of the BD379 will be in the range from 40 to 375, for the BD379-10 it will be in the range from 63 to 160, for the BD379-25 it will be in the range from 150 to 375, for the BD379-6 it will be in the range from 40 to 100.The complementary PNP transistor to the BD379-16 is the BD380-16.The BCP56 (SOT-223), BCP56-16 (SOT-223), BCX56 (SOT-89) and BCX56-16 (SOT-89) is the SMD version of the BD379-16 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the BD379-16 with the 2SD1724, 2SD1725, BD179, BD237, BD237G, BD789, BD791, KSE182, MJE182, MJE182G, MJE242 or MJE244.
