This tester is intended to quickly check whether a transistor is functional or not and possibly also select two or more transistors with (approximately) equal gains. This is about the simplest ...

Hacker [Dino Segovis] is back with yet another installment of his Hack a Week series, and it’s looking like he isn’t too worse for wear after hunkering down to face hurricane Irene. This week, it ...

These days, the electronics hobbyist is lucky to have access to a wide range of ready-made modules that enable sensors, screens, and microcontrollers to all be linked up with ease. However, this ...

Most students run away from science and technology classes because they find it difficult to use some of the complex devices during practicals. To help this set of students, three students of St ...

The cost of testing a transistor will approach and may exceed the cost of manufacturing it, Professor Bashir Al-Hashimi at the University of Southampton, has warned. Al-Hashimi, who is at the ...

This tester is primarily meant to test bipolar transistors. It can indicate the type of the transistor as well as identify its base, collector and emitter pins. The circuit is very simple. The ...
