BC558A Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BC558A from Toshiba is a PNP silicon epitaxial planar transistor designed for universal use. Encased in a standard TO-92 plastic package, this component is suitable for through-hole mounting.

 

Key electrical specifications include a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 30V and a continuous collector current (IC) of 100mA. The device offers a maximum power dissipation of 500mW and a frequency response up to 150MHz. The DC current gain (hFE) typically ranges from 110 to 220 at 2mA collector current.

 

With a junction temperature rating of 150°C and a storage temperature range of -55°C to 150°C, the BC558A is built for reliable operation. Its TO-92 package is convenient for breadboarding and through-hole PCB assembly. The material of the plastic case has a UL classification of 94V-0.

 

This transistor is well-suited for a wide array of amplification and switching applications in consumer electronics, industrial controls, and general electronic designs where a PNP transistor with moderate voltage and current handling is required.
