The S8550C 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 S8550C transistor can have a current gain of 120 to 200. The gain of the S8550 will be in the range from 85 to 300, for the S8550B it will be in the range from 85 to 160, for the S8550D it will be in the range from 160 to 300.The complementary NPN transistor to the S8550C is the S8050C.You can replace the S8550C with the 2N4403, 2SB564A, 2SB564AY, BCX79, KN2907, KSB564A, KSB564AY, KTC8550, KTC8550C, KTC9012, KTN2907, M8550, M8550-C, MPS2907, MPS2907G, MPS3702, MPS6534, MPS6535, MPS6562, MPS6651, MPS6651G, MPS6652, MPS6652G, MPS750, MPS750G, MPS8550, MPS8550C, MPSW51, MPSW51A, MPSW51AG, MPSW51G, PN200, PN2905, PN2907, S9012, SS8550, SS8550C, ZTX549, ZTX550 or ZTX949.
