Here the NE555 timer switches the Base on and off, so you're sure that it's really working. If you want to make it more advanced, I put another schematic in the pictures selection. If you made everything just like the schematic, you're ready to test your tester! Take the three transistor leads, bend them a little and put the Base to the middle pin and the Collector and Emitter to the other pins. Take 3 pieces of wire which stick out the circuit board, where you put the transistor leads to it. Make the schematic and solder everything together.

In this instructable I show you how to make a transistor tester which shows you if the 3 pins are still working, and if they don't have a deffect. If you put an electronic signal on the Base, the switch is open and electricity can flow through the Emitter and the Collector. Actually, a transistor is just nothing more than a tiny switch, which you don't controll with your finger, but with an electronic signal. Are you going to make a project, and find a transistor anywhere and you're wondering if it does still work? You can test it with this transistor tester.įirst it's helpfull to know how a transistor works. *This information is for general informational purposes only, we will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by the above information.In this instructable I'm going to show you how to make a transistor tester.
