Many years ago I was using 2N918 transistors in an RF application. That transistor comes in a size TO-72 package, which has four leads, one each for the collector, the emitter, the base and the ...

Test engineers have a variety of options for testing printed-circuit boards—ranging from in-circuit testers to the latest in embedded-instrument technology. Despite the decline of PCB physical access ...

When checking and verifying capacitors, inductors, diodes, bipolar transistors, and cables, the gamut of test methods can range from those used to confirm a defective component to identifying the ...

The history of semiconductor test systems is the subject of this blog post. We’ll turn to printed circuit board testing at another time. Boston-based Teradyne sold its D133 diode tester to Raytheon in ...
