Subject to change without notice

hf transistors etc. should not be tested). The limitation to 10 
V

p

 with bipolar transistors will suffi ce mostly as usual defects 

will show up.
The best method to verify whether a component is defective is 
the comparison to a good one. If the lettering of a component 
is not legible at least it is possible to see whether it is a npn or 
pnp transistor or which end of a diode is the cathode. 
Please note that reversing the test leads will also invert the 
picture, i.e. turn it 180 degrees.

STOP

  Before testing a component, please check its data 

to be sure that it is not overloaded by the test volta-
ge of ± 10 V.  

 In most cases, e.g. with service and repair, it will be suffi cient 
to receive a good/bad result (open, short). With MOS compo-
nents the usual precautions are to be observed, but note, that 
except for a possible short MOSFETs and JFETs can not be 
suffi ciently tested. Indications to be expected depend strongly 
on the kind of FET:

–  With depletion type MOSFETs and all JFETs the channel 

will conduct if prior to testing the gate was connected to the 
source. The Rdson will be shown. As this can be very low it 
may look like a plain short although the part is good! 

–  With enhancement type MOSFETs  an open will be seen in 

all directions, as the threshold voltage G – S is not available. 
With power MOSFETs the antiparallel diode S – D can be 
seen. 

Tests of components within circuits are possible in many cases 
but less indicative because other components may be in parallel. 
But also here the comparison with a good circuit might help. As 
both circuits must be deenergized it is only necessary to switch 
the test leads back and forth between both in order to localize 
a defective spot. Sometimes like with stereo amplifi ers, push-
pull circuits, bridge circuits  there is a comparison circuit right 
on the same board. In cases of doubt one component lead can 
be unsoldered, the other one should then be connected to the 
ground lead. This is labelled with a ground symbol. The pictures 
show some practical examples:
