Pinout of BC318

The BC318 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, base, and collector leads.
Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.

Classification of hFE

The BC318 transistor can have a current gain of 110 to 800. The gain of the BC318A will be in the range from 110 to 220, for the BC318B it will be in the range from 200 to 450, for the BC318C it will be in the range from 420 to 800.

Complementary NPN transistor

The complementary NPN transistor to the BC318 is the BC321.
