- Description
- A handheld electronic test instrument designed to identify and characterise discrete semiconductor devices whilst out of circuit. It automatically detects device type, including bipolar junction transistors, MOSFETs, JFETs, diodes, and diode networks, without requiring prior pin configuration. After analysis, the instrument displays pinout identification and key electrical parameters such as junction voltage, current gain (hFE), threshold voltage, and leakage current where applicable. The unit uses three test leads connected directly to the device under test and presents results on an integrated LCD. It is battery powered and supplied in a cardboard box with an instruction manual
