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 ...

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 ...

There is a great deal of activity in wide bandgap (WBG) power electronics lately, with Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon Carbide (SiC) devices getting a lot of attention due to the technologies’ ...

Researchers at the MIT's Microsystems Technology Laboratories (MTL) have developed a germanium p-type transistor whose carrier mobility doubles that of previous experimental p-type transistors and ...

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 ...
