Features
• PNP Silicon Epitaxial Planar Transistors for switch-
ing and AF amplifier applications.
• These transistors are subdivided into three groups
A, B, and C according to their current gain.
The type BC556 is available in groups A and B,
however, the types BC557 and BC558 can be
supplied in all three groups. As complementary
types, the NPN transistors BC546...BC548 are
recommended.
• On special request, these transistors are also
manufactured in the pin configuration TO-18.
