of
the UJT.
3. Connect the
emitter

lead
of
the
UJT
to
the G I
connector (white) on the Tester.

Identify
the
UJT
type
(N
channel
or
P channel). Then
place the P
CHAN-N

switch in the appropriate
position.

Press
the ON-OFF switch
to
the ON (in) position.

Read
the Ib

directly
from
the leakage scale. This current
is
normally
between
150
flA
and
400

between
base
1 and
base

can
be
obtained
by
dividing 1.5 volts (battery voltage)
by
the
current
(I).

If
the
UJT
is
an
N channel UJT, place the N CHAN-P

If
the
UJT
is
a P channel

TESTING
NOTE:
Some high voltage SCWs, those
that
have more than
a 1.5
volt
drop
across the gate
junction
when the
SCR
is
conducting, cannot
be
adequately tested.
Drawing L
of
Figure 3 shows the schematic symbol
for
an
SCR
(silicon
controlled
rectifier).
The
following
test
will
chack the
SCR
to
determine
if it
can
be
properly
turned
on
and
turned
off.
The
following
procedu
re
pertains
to
both
in-circu
it
and
out-of-circuit
testing.
If
you
do
not
obtain
the
proper results
when
an
SCR
is
tested inĀ·<:ircuit, remove
it
from
the
circuit
and repeat the tests.
1.
Be
sure the ON-OFF switch
is
in the OFF
(out)
position.
2.
Identify
the leads
of
the
SCR.
3.
Connect the gate
(g)
lead
of
the
SCR
to
the B
connector (white) on
the
Tester.
4.
Connect
the
anode
(a)
lead
of
the
SCR
to
the
E
connector (red) on the Tester .
5.
Connect the cathode (c)
lead
of
the
SCR
to
the C
connector (black) on
the
Tester.
6.
Press
the
TRANS
switch.
