Transistor Tester

We can use this basically a high gain amplifier with feedback circuit to cause the LED flash at rate determined by the 10u and 330k resistor. Before insert the unknown transistor, remove one of the transistor. The LED flash when it’s NPN with pins as shown in the photo. Remove one of the transistors to turn the unit off. [Source: […]

Electronic Ear

Circuit below is a very sensitive 3-transistor amplifier using a speaker transformer. This can be wound on a short length of ferrite rod as show above or 150 turns on a 10mH choke. The biasing of the middle transistor is set for 3 V supply. During idle conditions and the quiescent current is just 5mA, the second and third transistors […]

Automated Water Tank Filler

We can use the circuit below to maintain the level of water in the header tank within prescribed limits. A 3HP submersible bore pump which has a high starting current is controlled by this circuit, necessitating a solid-state relay sufficient to take the starting load. The upper and lower water sensors in the tank are connected with two Darlington transistors, […]
