The BC560A 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 BC560A transistor can have a current gain of 110 to 220. The gain of the BC560 will be in the range from 110 to 800, for the BC560B it will be in the range from 200 to 450, for the BC560C it will be in the range from 420 to 800.The complementary NPN transistor to the BC560A is the BC550A.The 2SA812 (SOT-23), BC857 (SOT-23), BC857A (SOT-23), BC857AW (SOT-323), BC857W (SOT-323), BC860 (SOT-23), BC860A (SOT-23), BC860AW (SOT-323), BC860W (SOT-323), BCW71 (SOT-23), BCW71LT1 (SOT-23), BCW71LT1G (SOT-23) and KSA812 (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the BC560A transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.You can replace the BC560A with the 2N5823, BC327, BC327-16, BC446, BC448, BC486, BC486A, BC488, BC488A, BC490, BC490A, BC556, BC556A, BC557 or BC557A.
