Transistor Tester

carry out a brief check, when there is no time or equipment
to carry out a thorough test.
The operation is simple: in the position ‘battery test’ (S2
closed), the 10 mA moving coil meter M1 in series with a
600
This tester is intended to quickly check whether a transis-
tor is functional or not and possibly also select two or more
transistors with (approximately) equal gains. This is about
the simplest conceivable test circuit, so don’t expect super
accuracy. The circuit has been designed only to quickly
resistor (R4 + R5) is connected to a 6 V battery. A
current of 10 mA will flow, resulting in full-scale deflection
of the meter.

When a transistor is being tested (S2 open, S3 in position
2 or 3) a current will flow through the base-emitter junction
of the transistor under test, the value of which can be com-
puted by dividing the voltage across R1 or R2 by its resis-
tance. With S3 in position 2 this will be (6 V – 0.6 V)/560 k

= approx. 10 µA. If the transistor has a gain of 1000 it will
cause a collector current (and therefore a meter current) of
10 mA, causing full-scale deflection of the moving coil
instrument. Therefore, the value indicated by the meter,
when S3 is in position 2, has to be multiplied by a factor of
100 to obtain the gain of the transistor. In position 3 the base
resistor is 10 times lower (R1 = 56 k

), so in this case the
reading has to be multiplied by 10 to obtain the gain.
It will be clear that position 2 of S3 is intended for high
gains of up to 1000 and position 3 for gains of 0 to 100. The
purpose of S1 is to reverse the polarity: the upper position
drawn is for NPN transistors, the bottom for PNP types. If
you have no moving coil instrument available, it is of course
