BC558B BC558 BC-558 BC 558 30V 100mA PNP 3 Pin Leads General Purpose Transistors BC 558 PNP 3 Pin TO-92 Package Bipolar Low Power Transistor
BC558 is a TO-92 packaged BJT transistor that can be used in many types of general purpose applications. It can be used as for any type of general amplification or switching. For using it as a switch to drive load it can handle 100mA of load with 30V. The collector dissipation is 500mW and maximum DC current gain is 800 therefore it can also be used as audio preamplifier purposes and audio amplification purposes. The emitter-base voltage is -5V due to which it can also be used at the output of microcontrollers. The device manufactured in three different part numbers like BC558A, BC558B and BC558C and the only difference between these three part numbers are their HFE values which can be detected by checking the last alphabet after the number, if the last alphabet is “A” then the HFE value will be 110~220, if “B” then 200~450 and if its “C” then it will be 420~800.
