The BC169A is manufactured in a plastic TO-92 case. When looking at the flat side with the leads pointed downward, the three leads emerging from the transistor are, from left to right, the emitter, collector, and base leads.
Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The BC169A transistor can have a current gain of 110 to 220. The gain of the BC169 will be in the range from 110 to 800, for the BC169B it will be in the range from 200 to 450, for the BC169C it will be in the range from 420 to 800.The complementary PNP transistor to the BC169A is the BC259A.The MMBTH10 (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the BC169A transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the BC169A with the 2N3394, 2N3414, 2N3704, 2N3706, 2N3707, 2N3708, 2N3710, 2SC1317, 2SC1383, 2SC1518, 2SC1959, 2SC2001, 2SC2120, 2SC2236, 2SC2328A, 2SC2710, 2SC3202, 2SC3203, 2SC3205, 2SC3940, 2SC4208, 2SC458, 2SC536, 2SD467, 2SD468, 2SD471, 2SD545, 2SD592, 2SD592A, 2SD734, BC168, BC168A, KSC2328A, KTC3202, KTC3203, KTC3204, KTC3205, KTC3210, KTC3211 or PN3643.
