Pinout of BC486A

The BC486A 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 BC486A transistor can have a current gain of 100 to 250. The gain of the BC486 will be in the range from 60 to 400, for the BC486B it will be in the range from 160 to 400, for the BC486L it will be in the range from 60 to 150.

Complementary NPN transistor

The complementary NPN transistor to the BC486A is the BC485A.
