Caution: Some types of RF-type bipolar transis-
tors might be damaged if they are connected incor-
rectly to the tester. To be safe, make sure you can
identify the device’s pins before you connect it to
the tester.
• If the internal base-to-emitter resistance in
the power transistor being tested is less than
about 7.1 kilohms, the tester might not find
the base and will instead show that the tran-
sistor is bad and shorted.
• The tester might not accurately check some
types of very high-gain Darlington or JFET
transistors.
