BC517 Bipolar Transistor

• Type: NPN
• Collector-Emitter Voltage, max: 30 V
• Collector-Base Voltage, max: 40 V
• Emitter-Base Voltage, max: 10 V
• Collector Current − Continuous, max: 1 A
• Collector Dissipation: 0.625 W

The BC517 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.The complementary PNP transistor to the BC517 is the BC516.
