The tester itself is relatively simple ... the NPN/PNP pair causes the LED to light up, but the circuit is broken whenever one of the transistors is removed. Inserting a new transistor into ...

For example, you can insert a resistor, a capacitor, an inductor, a diode, or a transistor and get a readout of which pin is which. It seems like magic, but [Andreas Spiess] did the research on ...

It says something about your career at a company that makes hundreds of trillions of transistors every day when your nickname ...

As with many inventions, two people had the idea for an integrated circuit at almost the same time. Transistors had become commonplace in everything from radios to phones to computers, and now ...

When the germanium heated up -- a natural outcome of being part of an electrical circuit -- the transistor would have too many free electrons. Since a transistor only works because it has a ...

Philco is expected to be in production shortly on preliminary transistor-diode “logic pacs.” Sperry Semiconductor Div. is in pilot production on Semi-Net NOR circuits in TO-5 cases.
