There's nothing forcing you to answer questions in this forum,
(a) It's not a forum !
(b) Where the heck are you posting from anyway ? I'll wager it's not s.e.d
so to grudgingly answer questions in such a gruff, insulting and condescending
manner is completely uncalled for.
It most certainly is in a design 'forum' as you like to call it.
If someone in your past treated you so thoughtlessly I apologize, but break
the cycle.
Actions and attitudes like yours are what keeps many from entering
technology-related hobbies. Way to screw the future, pal!
No. Idiots who can't read the data sheet and understand it simply have no
future. A modicum of simple mental competence is required to be a designer.
The question would conceivably have suited sci.electronics.basics however. FYI
the Fairchild data sheet says......
Switching and Amplifier (transistor)
• High Voltage: BC556, VCEO= -65V
• Low Noise: BC559, BC560
• Complement to BC546 ... BC 550
It's virtually (it is) a generic small signal device.
