BC559-Pinout

Basics of BC 559 1

[otw_is sidebar=otw-sidebar-1]I hope you all are good, in the previous tutorial I have discussed about datasheet overview of the BC559 transistor. In this tutorial I will discuss the overview of the datasheet of the BC559 transistor.

BC559 Pinout:

The pinout of the BC559 Transistor is as shown in the following figure:

BC559 Pinout

The symbol of the BC559 transistor is also represented in the above figure. It is important to notice here that while pointing out the leads of the transistor the flat face of the transistor should be facing. This applies for all transistors.

BC559 Basic Description:

BC559 is a general purpose transistor and mainly employed for switching and AF (audio frequency) amplifier applications. The BC559 transistor gets on when the Base-Emitter Voltage exceeds 0.55 volts. The Transfer characteristics of the transistor is defined as the relation between the input and output voltage.

BC 559 Transistor Type:     

  • Bi-Polar NPN

BC559 Absolute Maximum Rating at Room Temperature:

  • Maximum Collector current (Ic) :                         -100 mA
  • Maximum Base-Emitter Voltage (Vbe) :            – 5 Volts.
  • Maximum Collector-Emitter Voltage (Vce):            -30 Volts.
  • Maximum Collector-Base Voltage (Vcb): -30 Volts.

The tentative representation of the electrical characteristics of the BC559 transistor is as shown in the following image.
