A large number of various types of electronic components are used in electronic equipment. The failure of electrical equipment is mostly caused by the damage of components. The failure of electronic equipment caused by other reasons often leads to the damage of electronic components, resulting in the failure of equipment. Therefore, the detection of components is an essential basic work. How to accurately and effectively detect the relevant parameters of components and judge whether the components are normal is not a stereotype. Different methods must be adopted according to different components to judge whether the components are normal or not. The following is the experience sharing of common electronic component testing methods for your reference.

1．Measure the polarity of each pin of the rectifier bridge

Multimeter setting R × 1K gear, the black lead is connected to any pin of the bridge pile, and the red lead successively measures the other three pins. If the readings are infinite, the black lead is connected to the output positive pole of the bridge pile. If the readings are 4 ~ 10K Ω, the pin connected to the black lead is the output negative pole of the bridge pile, and the other two pins are the AC input terminal of the bridge pile.

When using the digital multimeter, just turn the gear to the buzzer gear, and then measure whether it is connected according to the above method (if it is connected, hundreds of voltage drops will be displayed, if it is not connected, 1 will be displayed)

2．Crystal oscillator detection

First use a multimeter (R × 10K block) measure the resistance value at both ends of the crystal oscillator. If it is infinite, it indicates that the crystal oscillator has no short circuit or leakage; Then insert the test pen into the mains socket, hold any pin of the crystal oscillator with your fingers, and touch the other pin with the metal part at the top of the test pen. If the neon bubble of the test pen is red, it indicates that the crystal oscillator is good; If the neon bubble is not bright, the crystal oscillator is damaged.

3．Unidirectional thyristor detection

R of available multimeter × 1K or R × Measure the forward and reverse resistance of any two poles at gear 100. If the resistance of a pair of poles is found to be low (100 Ω ~ LK Ω), then the black probe is connected to the control pole, the red probe is connected to the cathode and the other pole is the anode. The thyristor has three PN junctions. We can judge whether it is good or bad by measuring the forward and reverse resistance of PN junction. When measuring the resistance between control electrode (g) and cathode [C), if the forward and reverse resistance are zero or infinite, it indicates that the control electrode is short circuited or open circuit; when measuring the resistance between control electrode (g) and anode (a), the forward and reverse resistance readings should be large; when measuring the resistance between anode (a) and cathode (c), the forward and reverse resistance should be large.

4．Polarity identification of bidirectional thyristor

The bidirectional thyristor has main electrode 1, main electrode 2 and control electrode. If a multimeter R is used × 1K gear measures the resistance between two main electrodes, and the reading should be approximately infinite, while the forward and reverse resistance readings between the control electrode and any main electrode are only tens of ohms. According to this characteristic, we can easily identify the control electrode of the bidirectional thyristor by measuring the resistance between the electrodes. When the black probe is connected to the main electrode 1. When the red probe is connected to the control electrode, the measured forward resistance is always smaller than the reverse resistance. Therefore, it is easy to identify the main electrode 1 and main electrode 2 by measuring the resistance.

5．Detect LED

Set the multimeter to r first × 10K or R × L00k block, and then connect the red probe with the "ground" leading out end of the nixie tube (taking the common cathode nixie tube as an example), and the black probe is connected with other leading out ends of the nixie tube in turn. The seven sections should emit light respectively, otherwise it indicates that the nixie tube is damaged.

The digital multimeter is also turned to the buzzer gear. If it is a common cathode nixie tube, connect the black lead to com lipstick lead and connect other pins in turn to measure whether the nixie tube is good or bad (if it is good, the multimeter has an indication, if it is open, the indication is 1)

6．Electrode for distinguishing Junction FET

Place the multimeter in R × 1K gear, use the black probe to contact the pin assumed to be grid g, and then use the red probe to contact the other two pins respectively. If the resistance values are relatively small (5 ~ 10 Ω), exchange the red and black probes for measurement once. If the resistance values are all large (∞), it indicates that they are reverse resistance (PN junction reverse), belonging to n-channel tube, and the pin contacted by the black probe is grid g, which indicates that the original assumption is correct. If the resistance values measured again are very small, it indicates that it is a positive resistance, belonging to p-channel FET, and the black probe is also connected to grid G. If the above situation does not occur, the red and black probes can be replaced and tested according to the above method until the grid is judged. Generally, the source and drain of Junction FET are symmetrical during manufacturing. Therefore, when the grid G is determined, it is not necessary to distinguish the source s and drain D, because the two electrodes can be used interchangeably. The resistance between source and drain is thousands of ohms.

7．Detection triode electrode

For a transistor with unclear or unmarked model, in order to distinguish their three electrodes, it can also be tested with a multimeter. First turn the multimeter range switch to R × 100 or R × 1K resistance block. The red probe arbitrarily contacts one electrode of the triode, and the black probe successively contacts the other two electrodes to measure the resistance between them. If the measured resistance is hundreds of ohms, the electrode contacted by the red probe is base B, and the tube is PNP tube. If a high resistance of tens to hundreds of kiloohms is measured, the electrode contacted by the red probe is also the base B, and this tube is an NPN tube.

On the basis of distinguishing the tube type and base B, the collector is determined by using the principle that the forward current amplification coefficient of triode is greater than the reverse current amplification coefficient. Arbitrarily assume that one electrode is C pole and the other electrode is e pole. Turn the multimeter range switch to R × 1K resistance block. For PNP tube, connect the red probe to pole C and the black probe to pole e, and then pinch the poles B and C of the tube at the same time, but do not make the poles B and C collide directly to measure a certain resistance value. Then adjust the two probes for the second measurement, and compare the resistance measured twice. For PNP tube, the electrode connected to the red probe is the collector. For the primary with small resistance value of NPN tube, the electrode connected to the black probe is the collector.

8．Detection of potentiometer

First measure the nominal resistance of the potentiometer. Use the ohmic block of the multimeter to measure both ends of "1" and "3" (set the "2" end as the movable contact), and its reading should be the nominal value of the potentiometer. If the pointer of the multimeter does not move, the resistance value does not move or the resistance value is much different, it indicates that the potentiometer has been damaged. Then check whether the movable arm of the potentiometer is in good contact with the resistor. Use the ohm block of the multimeter to measure both ends of "1", "2" or "2" and "3", turn the rotating shaft of the potentiometer counterclockwise to the position close to "off". At this time, the resistance should be as small as possible, and then slowly rotate the shaft handle clockwise. The resistance should gradually increase. When it is rotated to the extreme position, the resistance value should be close to the nominal value of the potentiometer. For example, during the rotation of the shaft handle of the potentiometer, the pointer of the multimeter has a jumping image, and the contact of the "moving contact" point is poor.

9．Measure the leakage resistance of large capacitance

Place the 500 Multimeter in R × 10 or R × Gear 100. When the pointer points to the maximum value, immediately use R × 1K gear measurement, the pointer will be stable in a short time, so as to read the leakage resistance value.

10．Infrared receiver pin

Multimeter setting R × 1K gear, first assume that a pin of the receiving head is the grounding terminal, connect it with the black lead, measure the resistance of the other two pins with the red lead respectively, and compare the resistance values measured twice (generally in the range of 4 ~ 7K q). For the one with small resistance, the red lead is connected to the + 5V power pin, and the other with large resistance is the signal pin. On the contrary, if the red lead is connected to the known anchor and the black lead is used to measure the known power pin and signal pin respectively, the resistance value is above 15K Ω, the pin with small resistance value is the + 5V end, and the pin with large resistance value is the signal end. If the measurement result conforms to the above resistance value, it can be judged that the receiving head is intact.

11．Judging the polarity of unsigned electrolytic capacitor

First discharge the capacitor in a short circuit, then mark the two leads a and B, and set the multimeter to R × 100 or R × 1K gear, the black probe is connected to lead a, and the red probe is connected to lead B. read after the pointer is stationary, and short-circuit discharge after measurement; Then connect the black lead to lead B and the red lead to lead A. compare the readings twice. The primary black lead with large resistance is connected to the positive pole and the red lead is connected to the negative pole.

12．Measuring light emitting diode

Take an electrolytic capacitor with a capacity greater than 100 "f (the larger the capacity is, the more obvious the phenomenon is), and use the multimeter r first × Charge it at gear 100. The black probe is connected to the positive pole of the capacitor and the red probe is connected to the negative pole. After charging, the black probe is connected to the negative pole of the capacitor, and the measured LED is connected between the red probe and the positive pole of the capacitor. If the LED turns on and turns off gradually, it indicates that it is good. At this time, the red probe is connected to the negative pole of the LED, and the positive pole of the capacitor is connected to the positive pole of the LED. If the LED does not light up, switch its two ends and reconnect it for test. If it does not light up, it indicates that the LED has been damaged.

13.Optocoupler detection

Resistance R is selected for multimeter × Gear 100, do not select R × 10K gear to prevent high battery voltage from breakdown of LED. Connect the red and black probes to the input terminal and measure the forward and reverse resistance. Normally, the forward resistance is tens of ohms and the reverse resistance is thousands to tens of thousands of ohms. If the forward and reverse resistances are similar, it indicates that the LED has been damaged. Multimeter selection resistance R × First gear. The red and black probes are connected to the output terminal to measure the forward and reverse resistance, which is close to ∞ under normal conditions, otherwise it will be damaged by the light tube. Multimeter selection resistance R × In gear 10, the red and black probes are respectively connected to the input and output ends to measure the insulation resistance between the light emitting tube and the light receiving tube (if possible, the insulation resistance shall be measured with a megger. At this time, the rated output voltage of the megger shall be slightly lower than the withstand voltage value allowed by the measured optocoupler). The insulation resistance between the light emitting tube and the light receiving tube shall be ∞ normally.

14．Detection of photosensitive resistance

Turn the multimeter to R during detection × 1K Ω block, keep the light receiving surface of the photoresist perpendicular to the incident light, so the resistance directly measured on the multimeter is the bright resistance. Then put the photoresist in a completely dark place. At this time, the resistance measured by the multimeter is the dark resistance. If the bright resistance is thousands of ohms to tens of dry ohms and the dark resistance is several to tens of megaohms, it shows that the photosensitive resistance is good.

15．Laser diode damage discrimination

Remove the laser diode and measure its resistance. Under normal conditions, the reverse resistance should be infinite and the forward resistance should be 20K Ω ~ 40K Ω. If the measured forward resistance has exceeded 50K Ω, the performance of the laser diode has decreased; If its forward resistance has exceeded 90K Ω, it indicates that the tube has been damaged and can no longer be used.

The above is all the contents of the experience sharing of common electronic component testing methods! To sum up, in order to identify the quality of electronic components, it is essential to master the causes, characteristics and performance of component damage, which is also very important for finding fault points and repairing equipment.
