Pinout of BC318C

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

Complementary NPN transistor

The complementary NPN transistor to the BC318C is the BC321C.
