Pinout of BC486B

The BC486B 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 BC486B transistor can have a current gain of 160 to 400. The gain of the BC486 will be in the range from 60 to 400, for the BC486A it will be in the range from 100 to 250, for the BC486L it will be in the range from 60 to 150.

Complementary NPN transistor

The complementary NPN transistor to the BC486B is the BC485B.
