Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The BC856 transistor can have a current gain of 110 to 800. The gain of the BC856A will be in the range from 110 to 220, for the BC856B it will be in the range from 200 to 450, for the BC856C it will be in the range from 420 to 800.The complementary NPN transistor to the BC856 is the BC846.You can replace the BC856 with the FMMTA56, KST56, MMBTA56, PMBTA56 or SMBTA56.
