Pinout of BC307

The BC307 is manufactured in a plastic TO-92 case. When looking at the flat side with the leads pointed downward, the three leads emerging from the transistor are, from left to right, the collector, base, and emitter leads.
Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.

Classification of hFE

The BC307 transistor can have a current gain of 120 to 800. The gain of the BC307A will be in the range from 120 to 220, for the BC307B it will be in the range from 180 to 460, for the BC307C it will be in the range from 380 to 800.

Complementary NPN transistor

The complementary NPN transistor to the BC307 is the BC237.

SMD Version of BC307 transistor

The BC857 (SOT-23), BC857W (SOT-323), BC860 (SOT-23) and BC860W (SOT-323) is the SMD version of the BC307 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.

Replacement and Equivalent for BC307 transistor

You can replace the BC307 with the BC251, BC556, BC557 or BC560.
