How to test a transistor using a digital Multimeter 

Thank you man, you're the best among all RU-vidrs presenter I watched concerning this particular subject

identify PNP & NPN Transisters.How to find Base, Emitter, Collector, You done it in grate way.

this the the best way to identify the Emitter, Base and Collector of an transistor and also if it is a PNP or NPN. great job guy, I really like the video. keep it up

The BEST explanation of identifying transistors and understanding how they function, I have seen to date. THANKS

nice. I understood it easily compared to other similar videos here. Yours is quite simple and straightforward.

Great video easy to follow i have just wasted hours trying to find data sheets on some transistor and now and work it out myself thank you

Thank you!! I just fixed a small circuit that wasn't working. The pins on my 2N2222A were installed incorrectly. I was able to successfully troubleshoot with the help of your video. Thanks again!!

Thank you very much for explaining transistors in a way I understand, that is genuinely appreciated.

This is the simpliest and accurate video i've wached in yt.thx bro. Pls continue making video

You are a genius. So simple. Finally I can test transistors

Very good informative, thorough video. It's explained differently and it makes perfect sense!!!!!

This is the best explaination i've ever seen. Thank u man.. another subsciber here.

Simple and easy to understand presentation. Thanks for the video.

Thanks. Very clear description for a beginner...much appreciated.

Great video, easy to understand and no annoying music. Please do more electronic components! Thank you.

So far the best video. you have used an excellent analogy to explain transistors thanks and keep it up

The center pin is not always base. Japanese transitors base is usually the first pin. Friendly suggestion is to refer transitors datasheet for pin layout.

Great video! This is the best video I've found to clearly explain this! Great job!

Thank you for this clear and effective video!! Greetings from Italy!

This video was great and easy to follow.

Thank you Shawal SI, Excellen Video and explanations.

god one, First time I understand how to find the emitter and collector :)

Next explanation ever. Thanks so much as this has really helped me a lot

Nice explanation

Thank you very much!!! You saved my practical

Very clear, thank you !

Great effort, I took notes and now need to practice my learning... 👍

I have transistors with low voltage readings in the .473V -.486V range, can I assume these transistors are bad? Should I get readings .6V and up? The transistors I have are 2SB600 and 2SD555 from an amplifier that has very LOUD static.

You are a good teacher!Well explained.Covered all the things.Could you please make the video about the MOSFET and it's identification,testing,configuration and it's uses as a switch and other uses with good and logical examples?This is my humble request to you as a Guru's student.Thank you

Very clear, thanks!

Should have shown a bad transistor under test to compare the difference. Thank you for the vid.

Amazing video thanks so much :)

Thanks bro! Finally i have mastered the art

Very nice demonstration. Thanks.

Very good and in a simple way video. Thank you

Thanks so much man. What a clear explanation!

Very well explained. Thank you!

Good job at explaining this to people!! Is there a good way to test transistors and other components while soldered on the board? I have an ESR tester (Which was suppose to do this) but gives me different readings when I de-solder the component and test it again with the ESR tester. Thanks 4 sharing bud!! +1 Sub

Pretty cool vid, thanks for sharing

Thank you, man. You're saving my life

The first transistor is clearly marked starting with a C which is a Japanese NPN transistor. I think your meter is in reverse, red probe is negative. Please countercheck.

Mate an absolute great explaination🎉

Fantastic explanation Really liked it.

I have a question. Why I get a higher voltage reading, when pn or np junction is more dropped?

Very good demonstrate for PNP NPN ... thanks

thanks, very informative

I like the video simple and clear .thank u

thanks - very clear

Can someone tell me why I'm only getting a reading on one side I have take a transistor out and measured and I'm getting a reading between the Emitter and Base but not Base and collector I thought this was my problem with my amplifier so I bought a replacement, ( got a few of them). They all read one side. Does it all depend on transistor type . ? These are PNP transistors have

Very helpful, Thanks

Brilliant explanation. Well done

Very good tutorial... thanks alot

Thanks! It helped me on making my project! I very much understand it!

Thanks very clear explanation.keep it up.Godbless!

Super,very understandable, thank you sir.

Are the center pins always connected to the center of a junction?

Absolutely brilliant. Thanks

🙏 for the explanation

Thanks for teaching how to check NPN and PNP transistor

Very helpful thank you

I like this video, but how do you know if the transistor is bad? Can you test these transistors while they are still "in-circuit" and soldered to the board or do you have to remove them first?

Helped a lot. Thanks.

good video... Tanks....

Excellent explanation any idea how to indenfi SMD transistors by looking just the number on transistor.thanks

Thanks Shawal...keep on sharing.

in your first transistor testing you are using a 2SC5568 or a 2N5568 transistor, so its a NPN not PNP like you say on the video at 6:40... According to what the datasheet of a C5568 says..

Thanks bro that was simple & helpful

Super Sir very eassy method to find out C & E thanks lot pl tell us about IC LM 324

Thank you for making it simple and very clear. Best video out there. Well done!

GOOD Thank you for your Interest to share

👍👍Brilliant

Great work ..

Thanks brother. Nice Video

i learned i lot.so i subscribed :)

Another function of diode. I mean the other up side of this componen not just in the book not just what we learnt.( if any).thank you thank you.

So does this mean that the Base to Emitter junction has a higher resistance value than the Base to Collector junction? If this is true then can we use an Ohm Meter?

I get 1.7 between base and collector, does that mean it’s bad?

I enjoyed the video I got a lot out of this. I had a question for you I am recapping a radio and what looks like a capacitor I think is a transistor or a diode do you know what 2sa-i is do you know if this would be a diode it looks like a capacitor I didn't know who else to ask you seem like you know what you're doing

Very much useful

Thank you sir

Is the base always in the middle?

could you please make a simple LED drive circuits which we can use at home to illumines the home corner with LED bulb

Making physics very simple ❤

Good job

Hi, nice tutorial. Could you explain hfe value is and if it makes any difference if you match this value when building something?

I heard someone on the shower 😂😂 tnx for the info sir

Me too great video it help

thank you

I have this custom made tester for Transistors, capacitors, resistors,.... Etc. Is it reliable?

my meter just reads 0.L no matter what combo i try. do i need a lower voltage multimeter?

Does this test work with an unknown Infrared receiver with 3 legs? I tested each pin in 2 ways: Left to Center, Left to Right , Center to Right. with the red test lead in the Left hand & black in the Right it reads: 130, 0, 0 with the black test lead in the Left hand & red in the Right it reads: 130, 812, 677 The Only Markings on it are: It says 3D on the Flat back opposite the Hemisphere front Bulge lens. Do you ting I got a pretty good chance of using this for an IR remote control camera shutter trigger? Also I have Zero plans on ordering anything over the internet and radio Shack skipped Town so I AM Stuck salvaging electronic parts from peoples Trash or GoodWill. So whadaya think, AM I gonna Win or what;^D Seriously tho I'd appreciate your feedback cause I would like to get about 20 foot range on a wireless remote for My Camera and those 2 pin IR photo-transistors only seem to get about 12inches in which case I would be better off runnin' 50 feet of Telephone Line. Oh and check this madness out. I went to turn My Desk to Computer on this week and somebody sole the Power chord. Now it take a real Special kinda person to Break into My Home and not steal the Computer but are Hell Bent to steal the Power Chord to it. They didn't get My Telephone Wire tho, pretty happy about that ;^D

well done

Thanks.

nice video

I CAN,T FIND SOMEBODY to show us how we mesure a bad transistor ......

With a low end multimeter like this, you simply cant tell whether a result of 0.661V is actually higher than 0.660V. It's within the multimeter's spec to say that the 0.060 could have an actual higher voltage than the 0.061 result.

Seems like you are a malaysian or Singaporean shawal ✌🏼🤠

How to check transistor in circuit?

niceeeee

You are my god
