BC548 Transistor Pinout, Equivalent, Uses
BC548 is a commonly used NPN transistor same as bc547. The collector and emitter will remain open when the base pin is held at the ground and will close when a signal is provided to the base pin. BC548 has a gain value of 110 to 800, this value determines the Amplification capacity of the transistor. The maximum 500mA current can flow through the collector pin, so we cannot connect loads more than 500mA with this transistor. The maximum base current capacity is 5mA.

How to Safely Long Run in a Circuit:
To increase the performance of this transistor you should, must follow the guidelines and specifications given above in technical specifications. Do not drive the device above 30V, and always use the pins with the correct direction because wrong input can damage the transistor. Do not use the device at an over temperature of more than 150c.
