Content for BC558

BC558

BC558 is a PNP transistor hence the collector and emitter will be closed (Forward biased) when the base pin is held at ground and will be opened (Reverse biased) when a signal is provided to base pin. This is where a PNP transistor differs from a NPN transistor. BC558 has a gain value of 110 to 800; this value determines the amplification capacity of the transistor. The peak current that could flow through the Collector pin is 200mA, this combined with the high gain value makes it an ideal choice for audio amplification applications.
