Pinout of BC171B

The BC171B 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.

Classification of hFE

The BC171B transistor can have a current gain of 200 to 450. The gain of the BC171 will be in the range from 110 to 450, for the BC171A it will be in the range from 110 to 220.
