Pinout of BCX79

The BCX79 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 emitter, base, and collector leads.
Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.

SMD Version of BCX79 transistor

The 2SA1518 (SOT-23), 2SA1519 (SOT-23), 2SA1520 (SOT-23), 2SA1521 (SOT-23), BC807 (SOT-23), BC807W (SOT-323) and BCX17 (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the BCX79 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.
