Key Features
- Takes both NPN and PNP transistors.
- Common emitter and common base modes, selected on the panel.
- Two independent, continuously variable DC supplies of 0–1 V and 0–10 V.
- Four meters show input voltage, output voltage, input current and output current.
- Base current is read in microamperes and collector current in milliamperes.
- 4 mm sockets on a panel printed with a mimic diagram.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Transistor types | NPN and PNP |
| Circuit modes | Common emitter, common base (selectable) |
| DC supplies | 0–1 V and 0–10 V, continuously variable |
| Meters | 4 (Vin, Vout, Iin, Iout) |
| Ammeter scales | µA for base, mA for collector |
| Voltmeter ranges | 0–1 V (base-emitter), 0–10 V (collector-emitter) |

How It Is Used
For the input characteristic, the base-emitter voltage is raised in small steps and the base current noted. For the output characteristics, the base current is held at a set value while the collector-emitter voltage is varied and the collector current recorded, giving a family of curves that shows how base current controls collector current.
