Collector −50 A = 25°C TJ = 25°C load lines for specific circuits must fall below the limits indicated by the applicable curve. The data of Figure 14 is based upon TJ(pk) = 150°C; TC or TA is OR CURRENT BC558 variable depending upon conditions. Pulse curves are valid for BC557 −10 duty cycles to 10% provided TJ(pk) ≤ 150°C. TJ(pk) may be BC556 calculated from the data in Figure 13.
