BC558 PNP Transistor


BC558 transistor is a BJT in a TO-92 package used for switching and amplification purposes. It is from the family of PNP transistors. 

For a better outcome with the BC558 transistor, ensure you don’t use a drive load that exceeds 30V. Then, check and apply a suitable base resistor.
