TRANSISTOR LEAD IDENTIFICATION - RF Cafe

 

A Transistor Gain Test can be made using an ohmmeter and a simple test circuit. The principle behind this test lies in the fact that little or no current will flow in a transistor between emitter and collector until the emitter-base junction is forward biased.

 

A 10-to-1 resistance ratio in the test between meter readings indicates normal gain.

Transistor JUNCTION Resistance Test can also be made using an ohmmeter by

measuring the base-emitter, base-collector, and collector-emitter forward and reverse resistances.

TRANSISTOR JUNCTION RESISTANCE TEST - RF Cafe

 

MICROELECTRONICS is a broad term used to describe the use of integrated circuits to miniaturize electronic equipment.

 

A PRINTED Circuit BOARD (PCB) is a flat, insulating surface upon which printed wiring and miniaturized components are connected in a predetermined design and attached to a common base.

 

MODULAR CircuitRY is an assembly technique in which printed circuit boards are stacked and connected together to form a module. This technique increases the packaging density of circuit components and results in a considerable reduction in the size of electronic equipment.

 

An INTEGRATED Circuit is a device that integrates (combines) both active components (transistors, diodes, etc.) and passive components (resistors, capacitors, etc.) of a complete electronic circuit in a single chip.

 

INTEGRATED Circuit - RF Cafe

 

The two basic types of ICs are the HYBRID and the MONOLITHIC.

 

In the MONOLITHIC IC, all elements (resistors, transistors, etc.) associated with the circuit are fabricated inseparably with a continuous piece of material (called the substrate).

 

 

2-52

In the HYBRID IC, the passive components (resistors, capacitors) are deposited onto a substrate (foundation) made of glass, ceramic, or other insulating material. Then the active components (diodes, transistors) are attached to the substrate and connected to the passive components using fine wire.
