![]() ![]() Here is a very simple circuit that can be used to check the hfe of transistors. Simple Transistor Tester (Contains both Circuit Diagram and PCB Lay Out)ģ. Transistor Tester built using TransistorsĢ. If you have any doubts about any section please ask through comments.ġ. We have structured this article into two circuits. Green LED blinks, the condition of the transistor will be OK.This article discusses various circuits that can be used to test a Transistor, both NPN and PNP. To the tester, the green and red LEDs flash alternatively. Nutshell the result will be like this:When no transistor is connected That path and hence the LEDs will not glow in any half cycle. No.3 chooses the short circuit path since there is no resistance in When there is a short circuit, the output pulse of 555 timer at pin To emitter through base but not through the LED branch. Is in conduction and the current flows in the transistor from collector ![]() In thisĬase, the green LED is ON.During the negative half cycle, the diode D2 Similar to the previous case as the transistor will be OFF. Working transistor is connected, during the positive half cycle, it is Is ON and for the next half time period, red LED is ON. The negative half cycle, the red LED is inīias.Hence, for half time period of the output square wave, green LED LED is in forward bias and red LED is in reverse bias whereas during Two paths- a) Through resistorsb) Through LEDsDuring the positive halfĬycle of the square wave output, the green Transistor is connected, the output pulse of 555 timer at pin no.3 has When no transistor is connected orwhen a faulty To the otherĮnd of this circuit, a voltage divider is connected with the midpointĪt approximate 4.5V. With a positive voltage, and then with a non-zero voltage. The output pins 3 makes the transistor tester circuit ![]() The working of transistor tester circuit is such that it operates atĢHz of frequency. Once the positive voltage is provided at theīase, the NPN transistor move from cutoff mode to saturation mode. Positive voltage only, so to turn on an NPN transistor we should give a Which is to be tested to drive an LED.A NPN transistor respond to The timer here generates clock and is fed to transistor It switches an LED ON and OFFĬontinuously. Less expensive to test the transistor using IC 555 timerīy Transistor switching property. In general, a transistor tester is doneĪpparatus.The following circuit explains the easy and comparatively Sometimes duringĮxperiments or projects, they are required to test functioning of Based on the glowing pattern of the LEDs, we canĭetect whether the transistor is connected, good or shorted.īipolar junction transistors are often used in physical laboratory andĮlectronic circuits for a variety of purposes. Red colour LEDs to identify the condition of the given transistor Transistor tester using IC 555 Timer.This report will explains theĬircuit based on the above. Commonly used devises to test the transistor areĬostly.So, in order to rectify this problem, we will go for The future inconvenience and the loss to the manufacturer.Īn instrument which is used to test the electrical behavior of a Therefore the testing of the transistor is very important to avoid In electronics most commonly required component is transistor. ![]()
