Does the BC161-6 need a heatsink?
For currents and power levels approaching its 3.7W rating, yes. The rated dissipation assumes good thermal contact with a heatsink, so at lower mounting efficiency the usable power must be reduced.
How do I use a PNP transistor like the BC161-6 to switch a load?
Connect the emitter to the positive supply and the load between the collector and ground. Pull the base low through a resistor to turn the transistor on. Check the pinout in the datasheet for your package before wiring.
