Pinout of BC560B

The BC560B 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 BC560B transistor can have a current gain of 200 to 450. The gain of the BC560 will be in the range from 110 to 800, for the BC560A it will be in the range from 110 to 220, for the BC560C it will be in the range from 420 to 800.

Complementary NPN transistor

The complementary NPN transistor to the BC560B is the BC550B.
