  • Notes
  • Dynamic Transistor/ FET Tester:

    • AC beta (hfe) of bipolar transistors
    • transconductance (Gm or gfs) test of FET's up to 100000 µmhos
    • checking diodes, SCR's and triacs
    • in-circuit or out-of-circuit test
    • JFET's and MOSFET's (n- and p-channel, depletion or enhancement type)
    • zero-bias drain current (IDSS) and drain current (ID) up to 20 mA
    • out-of-circuit gate leakage
    • 10 mA ( or var. up to 20 mA) special drain current control for enhancement-type FET's
    • special "Beta X 50" function for testing (power) Darlington devices up to 5000
    • collector-to-base leakage (ICBO) up to 100 µA
    • collector-to-emitter leakage (ICEO) up to 200 mA
    • variable collector current level > complete AC beta current curve can be plotted
    • test accuracy bipolar and FET's (at selected cuurent level): +/- 3%

    With the instrument included are two plug-in "univeral" socket adapter units and test leads:

    • WG-45A (FET test adapter)
    • WG-455A (transistor test  adapter)
    • WG-460A (test leads)
  • Net weight (2.2 lb = 1 kg)
  • 5 lb 12 oz (5.75 lb) / 2.611 kg
