BC559BTA from onsemi, in a TO-92-3. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Collector | passive | Collector terminal; for the BC559 the datasheet gives VCBO of -30 V, VCEO of -30 V and a DC collector current of -100 mA (peak pulse -200 mA). |
| 2 | Base | passive | Base terminal; the datasheet gives a peak base current (pulse) rating of -200 mA. |
| 3 | Emitter | passive | Emitter terminal; the datasheet gives an emitter-base voltage rating of -5 V. |
