BC558 Basic Description 1

[otw_is sidebar=otw-sidebar-1]BC558 PinoutI hope you all are good, in the previous tutorial I have discussed about datasheet overview of the BC558 transistor. In this tutorial I will discuss the overview of the datasheet of the BC558 transistor.

 

 

 

 

BC558 Pinout:

The pinout of the BC558 Transistor is as shown in the following figure:

 

The symbol of the BC558 transistor is also repBC558 Pinoutresented 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.

BC558 Basic Description:

BC558 is a general purpose transistor and mainly employed for switching and AF (audio frequency) amplifier applications. The BC558 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 558 Transistor Type:     
  • Bi-Polar NPN

BC558 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 BC558 transistor is as shown in the following image.
