Design And Construction Of A Transistor Tester Circuit

ABSTRACT

This work is transistor tester. This transistor tester circuit uses 555 timer IC for testing both PNP and NPN transistors. This circuit is simple as compared to other transistor testers, and therefore, is useful for technicians as well as students. The circuit is developed using basic electronic components like resistors, diodes, LEDs and NE5555 are used. By using this circuit, different faults can be checked –like to know whether the condition of a transistor is good or not, and opened or shorted, and so on.
