Introductions:
The BC558 is a general-purpose PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT). It is commonly used for low power amplification and switching applications. The BC558 transistor typically comes in a TO-92 package and is designed to handle small current loads, usually up to 100 mA. It has a voltage rating of about 30V and can be used for various audio and signal processing circuits.
