mosfet testing

[BigTom]

is there a quick way(in circuit)to test mosfets.
bud2508 and irf9620 in particular.

 

[Pathogen]

yes, but I don't think ya have the right equip for the task

 

[BigTom]

im limited to a digital mm, analogue mm, and an esr tester.
what about out of circuit?

BU2508 (not BUD2508) is a normal bipolar (non-FET) HOT, IRF9620 is a FET
mostly used as a series regulator (in TV sets and monitors) or as a load
capacitance switch (in monitors). Generally, test them using the diode
test of your multimeter. The HOT will measure as 2 separate diodes B-E
and B-C, sometimes the B-E reading will give you 50mV. The FET will
measure open all ways, except maybe for the protection diode between D
and S. For hints on your repair, you need to give more context so that
people can be of help.

bud2508, hehe its not like me to make mmistakes.
thanks Maarten.

HeHeHe.... If it isn't shorted, it's probably good.

D and S should only test one way like a
diode and not the other way, and between
D and G - S and G there sould be no
continuity open.
first short all pins to drain any field curent.
