Hey I said I'm a newby - I don't know how to explain a leaky transistor between base and collector other than as a partial short. Anyhow, my real question has still not been answered - does anybody who has built this tester know if it does indicate whether a tranny is leaky or have I done...
Audioguru, steven thank you for your replies. I have exactly the results as you both describe if I physically dead short the legs - but I have a tranny that measures as follows with a multimeter:
NPN Tranny :B-E = .708V B-C = .709 C-E one way = .5V C-E the other way = clear, B-C...
Hi all. As you can see this is my first post having stumbled across this site just recently. I am a relative newby to electronics as well and need some help with this tester. I had all the discussed problems ( 1 LED on all the time etc.) but this was completely solved by the changes given by...
