The S8050C 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.The S8050C transistor can have a current gain of 120 to 200. The gain of the S8050 will be in the range from 85 to 300, for the S8050B it will be in the range from 85 to 160, for the S8050D it will be in the range from 160 to 300.The complementary PNP transistor to the S8050C is the S8550C.You can replace the S8050C with the 2N4401, 2N5172, 2SD471A, 2SD471AY, KN2222, KN2222A, KSD471A, KSD471AY, KSP2222A, KTC8050, KTC8050C, KTC9013, KTN2222, KTN2222A, M8050, M8050-C, MPS2222, MPS2222A, MPS2222AG, MPS2222G, MPS3414, MPS3416, MPS3704, MPS650, MPS650G, MPS6531, MPS6532, MPS6560, MPS6560G, MPS6601, MPS6601G, MPS6602, MPS6602G, MPS8050, MPS8050C, MPSW01, MPSW01A, MPSW01AG, MPSW01G, NTE123AP, P2N2222A, P2N2222AG, PN100, PN2219, PN2219A, PN2222, PN2222A, PN3569, S9013, SS8050, SS8050C, ZTX449 or ZTX450.
