Working Principle

The two dissimilar semiconductor materials that are used for constructing the BC558BRLG transistor are germanium and silicon. Germanium material gives the transistor its low noise characteristics whereas the high switching speed is provided by silicon. The BC558BRLG is an NPN transistor, which means that in active state of the transistor, the emitter is negative and the collector and the base terminal are at positive potential.

The main operation of the BC558BRLG transistor is seen in its switching method. This type of transistor is used to control the flow of electricity between the collector and emitter terminal. The collector current leading in through the electrons passing through the base and out of the emitter. When the base terminal is made high, the transistor will switch on. When the base terminal is made low, the transistor will switch off. This is the basic working principle of an NPN bipolar junction transistor.

The applications for this transistor are vast and it can be used for a variety of purposes. It can be used for switching purposes, hence offering reliable power control. It can also be used for audio and amplifier applications, providing better continuity and performance. Lastly, the BC558BRLG transistor can also be used for surface mount packages.
