BC550C / BC560C OnSemi/Fairchild Group Buy

Update as promised a couple days ago.
The BC550C were found to be around 500-530 hFE. The BC560C were 540-570 hFE. I did not test them all, just randoms. The pinout was correct as per the Fairchild datasheet: 1=c, 2=b, 3=e.

Here are the Fairchild/OnSemi BC550CTA I received from Mouser. The plastic case/package surrounding the die doesn't have rough mold lines, and the bend leads are not roughly tinned like the ones from the other vendor.
