This Video looks at some of the more common transistors, and shows you how to test them easily with the "diode test function" of your DMM. The transistor in the intro picture isn't so common, but it was kind of photogenic.

How about MOSFETs? In testing/checking MOSFETs using Multimeter, when the gate is charged, why some MOSFETs (N-channel & P-channel), the drain to source let us say 0.002 or less, others, starts with 0.435 and running up as fast as a second or half a second until showing infinite? What does it mean? Does all MOSFETs behave like that?

An easy way to identify the emmiter from the collector is the emmiter always have a higher resistance then the collector because of the base emmiter junction (bias)

This is so stupid because I feel stupid lol, I have been working with electronics forever (wall socket christmas light bulb kid, 33 now, but lived through charred hands) and designed circuits with bipolar transistors and so on but for some reason this is one of those goofy things I seemed to skip in my education. I am one of those guys that learned on my own and have an extensive knowledge but sometimes simple things like this remind me the holes in my education. What you have done with this youtube channel has been a huge service to people like us who delved heavily into this but never had that teacher there to really hammer the basics down. In fact some of the stuff you teach on your channel actually reminds us or teaches those who thought they knew this stuff because they simply took the rumors as gospel until you proved otherwise. You sir are a real tech, a real joy to watch, and a teacher. The best kind. Please keep up what you do. Us other folks who thought we knew our stuff are watching and going.. "whoah duh, I should have known that!" In the electronics community you are becoming a real hero and you deserve it :)

This guy has my dream job... He is awesome at what he does and explains it very well... I really miss doing electronic trouble shooting even on my own stuff. Who Knows maybe that since I am retiring I can get a shop setup and do some repair on some old radio's and TVs... If you are new to electronics you want to watch this guy.. If you an old salt like me you will want to watch too. Young or old the man makes it fun and exciting. Something that went away from me after almost 20 years when SOC (systems on a chip) technologies came out.. And pretty much made the art of repairing consumer electronics obsolete with the exception of high end audio and ham gear and others a like. I will say that his working with tubes has sparked my passion as in my education in electronics was split between both tube and solid state devices. My last few years was the death of tube taught theory at least at my particular school. I am very envious of your Tektronix equipment. When working for Western Electric back in the 80s I was assigned a 475B for my use and I absolutely loved that unit. Great Job... Love your channel...

Sir. I started out in electronics watching my father work on television radios of the 20s though to the 70s. This was back when you could go down to your local 7-11 and test you horizontal vertical hold vacuum tubes and if bad there was a box just below the tube tester where you could find one and your back watching television. The smell of solder along with the voices the would call out call signs from the ham radio. This with my dad taking the time to teach me and later pit me though a home corse from The National Radio Institute or as it was called in my day NRI. On color television repair. It was on from that day on. I've since taking on teaching several of my son's friend's the basics that has turned into 25 a year. Kids who don't have much. I don't charge but the faces that light up when they figure it out is priceless. Since I found you videos you have made it so much easier. Thank you sir it's a pleasure having you in my class twice a week. God bless sir. P.S. If you find you have equipment that has past its usefulness for you. Older oscilloscope not vintage just something you don't use are need and would like to pass it on. It would go to a good cause sir. Please don't think me less for asking because if you don't know you may pass up a blessing. Thank you for your time sir.

Well done. Thanks. Some additional information. 1N (for dioides), 2N (for transitors) 3N (special device) are American standards. 2S is Japanese and AC is a germanium and BC (like BC 107) is a silicon European/German standards. AD (germanium) and BD (silicon) are power transitors and BU is a high power switching or high voltage (or both like BU208). 2SA (PNP) and 2SB (NPN) are germanium and 2SC silicon transitors. 2SD's are usually silicon power transitors. There is always exceptions. Germanium transitors were used mostly for pocket radios because of lower voltage drop 0.2V vs 0.7 for silicon. However, the are obsolete now. In some designs, germanium transitors can be replaced with silicon ones. As you said, germanium transitor voltage drop can vary very much with the temperature which decreases when temperature increased.

If you don't have the pin out data,you can determine the transistor leads to which is the EBC by taking notice of diode voltage across the junction. The Emitter - Base junction will always be slightly higher than the Base - Collector junction in bipolar transistors! This is how I determine the leads, when I need to know quickly. It works many times in circuit for a good transistor. I've used this technique for many years! I hope this helps new technicians working in electronics!

I firmly believe that KZfaq has the potential to redefine the entire concept of education. It seems I have always been a hands-on learner rather than a book learner, and Mr Carlson's Lab videos not only are extremely well done and informative, but they leave me wanting to learn even more. Keep up the great work. One problem that I have not seen addressed, and that I am encountering as I try to restore a vintage transistor amp is the issue of finding the modern equivalent of the old numbering system for the semiconductors. Does anyone know of an online resource that addresses this or has Mr Carlson's Lab already done so and I missed it? Any help is greatly appreciated, Again, Keep up the great work.

+Ed Vaioli: Yes sir, Ed, most definitely! I am also more of a hands-on learner. I suspect most of us are at some point. Book learning is good and important, but that's only 1/3 of the experience. I attended a year of college. The only thing I learned in that year was that I DON'T LIKE COLLEGE! 😁 I went to trade school three times: twice for electronics (the second time was for avionics), and once for aviation. Some book learning, yes, but over 80% of the experience was hands-on learning, which I think is superior. Even a "brainiac" can't argue with those stats! I still have my FAA A&P license, although I am retired now. To be fair, in that year of college, I did learn Fortran '77, but that was about it. And the only reason I still remember and know it was because I was able to put that Fortran '77 to use on the college's Burroughs 6800 mainframe computer (I know, I'm telling my age! 😄 ). Would you believe the college was still using a card reader? And this was in 1983!!

You are a legend. You don't know how stupid I feel that I'd never put 2+2 to see that N correlates to the NEGATIVE lead and P correlates to the POSITIVE lead. I've always sort of known how the N and P types work theoretically. I don't use diodes often so it's always a little fuzzy. I just look up every once in a while how to test transistors when I need it and always forget after I do it. I'm a big fan of making connections like Pnumonic devices to remember stuff.

Glad I caught this one, yes. Thank you Mr. Carlson. Shortly after becoming single I was able to pick up my electronics hobby. My line of work gives me access to a great deal of electronic parts. I have a hard time tossing electronics in the trash. I rob as much as I can when I have time. I started looking up parts on line so I could figure out what I have and what I need to build. I discovered KZfaq has so much to offer in electronics it's mind blowing. About a year now I have been dumping money into it, and building simple projects. The projects keep getting bigger. I built my power supply. I should have done a video, it's worth looking at features, and appearance. Really nice, better than off the shelf by far. I'm combining circuits. Learning and experimenting, I really enjoy the LED circuits. I have 3 bread boards on my desk right now, each with several LED circuits, diff leds, colors, shields, mini fiber optic bursts, I built an led vu meter which got cannibalized into a duel flasher circuit. blue green red, it works like a led chase strobe combo, and the single red at the peak hits 3 times pap,pap,pap on each run. Everything in my room that has an led indicator, everything, all leds have been changed to blue. At night my desk looks like, Well I have some ideas, and you are just the right person to help me with my questions. I have some other projects going on cabinetry. I will be seeing you at Patreon some time soon. I'm really looking forward to that. This video bumped me up another notch. Thank you.

I needed to know how these work and your explanations are excellent. I'm 65 and my wife decided I should take a course at a local college and if I do, I hope they explain things like you do. A friend of mine just explained a couple things to me on reading resistor codes and helped me out with the multiplier part, I was like that's it?

It would be great if you could do a video on curve tracers, how they work, and how to use them. They seem to be a piece of test gear that has been forgotten, or not used much anymore, but seems to fascinate me because they can tell you a lot of information otherwise lost. Just a suggestion.

Trying to find info on testing transistors in my vintage 1978 FM receiver, I initially thought I had a Mosfet Transistor, but later when I googled the transistor p/n (2SB595 & 2SD525) I noticed that the terminology of the three terminals on the transistors stated on the datasheet was different than that being used by Mosfet transistors. Mosfets terminals are named: gate drain and source; while Bipolar terminals are named Emitter Collector Base. The datasheet I found also identified that the B595 was a PNP (Emitter, Collector, Base) and the D525 was a NPN (Base, Collector, Emitter) transistor. After watching a ton of videos on transistors, I found your video to be the best one for my application, and that my transistors were good, your video was very helpful, and well done.

The moment you said "positive", the penny dropped on the NPN/PNP meaning.. With the numbering/clasification system, no one speaks of it, even a book I read some years ago called "transistor identification", go figure! I only remember one book by Forrest Mimms that briefly demonstrated transistor testing and identification, it wasn't 100 percent clear. It is now...

Over the years various transistors have been taken out of manufacture and it would make a great topic showing how to select a replacement transistor from currently manufactured stock. 2SC1969 etc is an example if I recall is no longer available very easily. I'm sure there's many like me who once they start staring at endless data sheets the head starts to fog over and get lost in endless comparisons. Thanks again for the videos and keep them coming best regards Sean in the UK

Great explanation of the difference in identification of transistors. Wish I found this video earlier. So used to the jedec 1 2 3n system. Really tedious looking up components in a thick substitution book in the pre- internet days. Great vid here👍

Hey Mr Carlson's Lab I wish there was a better way I could express my gratitude for your concise and clear-cut explanation of this matter. It's really cleared up the confusion I came across with some of the transistors I've been testing over the past couple days. Thank you for sharing this information, and thank you for sharing it for free. Sub'd!
