INTRODUCTION
The Heathkit Model IT -3120 FET /Transistor Tester
is
a quality
instrument for quick, accurate tests of conventional (bipolar)
transistors, diodes, FET's, SCR's, triacs. and unijunction
transistors. Gain (DC Beta), transconductance (Gm), and
leakage values are read directly
on
the large easy-to-read
meter.
You
can
quickly
and easily test devices either in-circuit
or
out-of-circu it. The Tester provides special
circuitry
to
balance
out
in-circuit impedances.
Use
either the
color
coded
leads
for
in-circuit tests
or
the
built-in
transistor and
FET sockets
for
out-of-circuit tests.
Five current
ranges
permit
leakage measurements
as
low
as
1
microampere and collector currents
as
high
as
1 ampere.
Pushbutton
type
range, mode, and
function
switches
assure
easy,
consistent operation.
A special battery testing
circuit
provides a meter indication
of
the
condition
of
the
self-contained power supply.
Another convenience
of
this portable instrument
is
the
two-color
front
panel design, black lettering
for
conventional (bipolar) transistors and
red
lettering
for
FET's. Also, separate, brief operating instructions
are
printed on the rear panel.
Refer
to
the
"Kit
Builders
Guide
"
for
information
on tools,
wiring,
soldering,
resistors
,
and
capacitors.
