Universal Tester for 3 pin Devices
Most 3-terminal active components can be tested statically using just an ohmmeter. But when you have a lot of these devices to test, the procedure soon becomes boring. That’s where the idea came from to combine fast, easy testing for these types of device into a single instrument. The unit described here enables you to test NPN and PNP bipolar transistors, N-or Pchannel FETs or MOSFETs, UJTs, triacs, and thyristors. Regardless of the type of device, the tests are non-destructive. Universal connectors allow testing of all package types, including SMDs (up to a point). The unit lets you change from one type of device to another in a trice. It avoids using a multi-pole switch, as they’re too expensive and hard to find. .
