The BC486L 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.The BC486L transistor can have a current gain of 60 to 150. 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 BC486B it will be in the range from 160 to 400.The complementary NPN transistor to the BC486L is the BC485L.The 2SA1518 (SOT-23), 2SA1519 (SOT-23), 2SA1520 (SOT-23), 2SA1521 (SOT-23) and BCP51 (SOT-223) is the SMD version of the BC486L transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the BC486L with the BC488, BC488L, BC490 or BC490L.
