How to test a transistor using a digital Multimeter

Easy way to test a transistor using a digital Multimeter. In summary, to determine what type of transistor is by swapping positive and negative probes until you get 2 forward bias voltage reading for example 1 positive probe on one pin and another two pin is on negative probe then it is an NPN transistor.

To determine the which pin is collector, emitter and base:

Emitter = forward bias voltage is higher than collector pin
Collector = lower forward bias voltage compared to emitter pin
Base = reference probe for both two junctions in forward bias

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

[diomenteanthony]

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

[FerdinandApeh]

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

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

[Mahia]

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!!

[gospelmoto]

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

[Discoworx]

Best video ive seen so far on the subject. Thanks

[JamminJerseyRocker]

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

[mr.fixcamer]

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

[yummyklown]

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

[markharrisllb]

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

[luminouspc]

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

[NothingToShoutAbout]

This video was great and easy to follow.

[kitkirkyen]

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

[azharc]

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

[laworder]

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

[edlopz]

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

[chamoy]

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

[riverrat]

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