Pinout of BC415

The BC415 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 collector, base, and emitter leads.
Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.

Classification of hFE

The BC415 transistor can have a current gain of 180 to 800. The gain of the BC415B will be in the range from 180 to 460, for the BC415C it will be in the range from 380 to 800.

Complementary NPN transistor

The complementary NPN transistor to the BC415 is the BC413.
