BC558 Transistor
Explained / Description

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 ampliacation 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
preampliaer purposes
and audio ampliacation
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 diLerent part
:
 numbers like BC558A,
BC558B and BC558C and
the only diLerence
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.

Where We Can Use

BC558 Transistor & How
to Use:

The transistors that are

made for general purpose
applications can be used
in any type of normal
requirements in electronic
circuits. For example if
used as a switch it can
handle any load under
100mA like relays, LEDs,
other big transistors,
:
 integrated circuits etc. On
the other hand it can also
be used as an audio
ampliaer or preampliaer
and for any type of signal
ampliacation.

Applications

Preampliaer

Audio ampliaer

Any Signal Ampliacation

Darlington pair

Drive Load under 100mA

How to Get Long Term

Performance

To get long term

performance form C558 it
is recommended to
operate load more than
100mA, do not drive load
of more than 30V, always
use a suitable base
resistor, check pin
conaguration before
placing in the circuit and
:
 do not operate of store it
in temperature below -65
centigrade and above
+150 centigrade.
