When checking and verifying capacitors, inductors, diodes, bipolar transistors, and cables, the gamut of test methods can range from those used to confirm a defective component to identifying the ...

Many years ago I was using 2N918 transistors in an RF application. That transistor comes in a size TO-72 package, which has four leads, one each for the collector, the emitter, the base and the ...

We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...
