Pinout of BC558C
The BC558C 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 BC558C transistor can have a current gain of 420 to 800. The gain of the BC558 will be in the range from 110 to 800, for the BC558A it will be in the range from 110 to 220, for the BC558B it will be in the range from 200 to 450.
Complementary NPN transistor
The complementary NPN transistor to the BC558C is the BC548C.
