BC557-TA

Changjing · Bipolar (BJT) · TO-92

BC557-TA from Changjing, in a TO-92. 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 of the PNP transistor; the datasheet limits are VCBO -80/-50/-30 V and VCEO -65/-45/-30 V for BC556/BC557/BC558, with continuous collector current of -0.1 A.
2 BASE passive Base of the PNP transistor; the emitter-base voltage is rated at -5 V and the base drives the device with a base current of -0.5 mA to -5 mA in the saturation test conditions.
3 EMITTER passive Emitter of the PNP transistor; the emitter-base breakdown voltage V(BR)EBO is -5 V minimum at IE = -100 µA.
