We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...

The resistance of the diode cannot be measured with the normal ohmmeter on a DMM because the voltage used may not be high enough to bias the diode. DMM’s often have a diode testing mode that supplies ...

It’s remarkable how tiny electronics have become. Heaven knows what an old-timer whose experience started with tubes must think, to go from solder tags to SMD in a lifetime is some journey. Even the ...

Fluke Corp. has introduced a new, easy-to-use utility multimeter designed to help utility workers, linemen and electricians, to quickly diagnose electrical problems. The Fluke 113 Utility Multimeter ...

The diode is a fundamental component you must understand if you want to grow your electronics prowess. So today, we’re going to take a quick look at what a diode is, then look at 4½ uses for a diode ...
