Pinout of BC321A

The BC321A 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 BC321A transistor can have a current gain of 110 to 220. The gain of the BC321 will be in the range from 110 to 800, for the BC321B it will be in the range from 200 to 450, for the BC321C it will be in the range from 420 to 800.

Complementary NPN transistor

The complementary NPN transistor to the BC321A is the BC318A.
