This simple capacitor tester is capable of testing electrolytic capacitors in the range of 1uf to 450uf. It can test large start and run capacitors as well as 1uf miniature capacitors rated at 10v. Once you understand the timing cycle, you can test down to 0.5uf and up to 650uf. By Henry Bowman How to … Read moreUse this Capacitor Tester to Find Leaky Capacitors Quickly
I wanted a milliohm tester circuit that could be used to measure resistance on printed circuit boards to track down shorted components. I looked at several designs and combined several ideas into this project. By Henry Bowman Circuit Operation Referring to the schematic, the milliohm tester is powered by two 9 volt dry cells. The … Read moreHow to Make a Simple Milliohm Tester Circuit
In this post we learn how to scavenge discarded microwave oven parts for making a useful soldering iron heat controller circuit which can then be used for maintaining controlled heat over a connected soldering iron tip ensuring safe soldering operations, that may be quite crucial and handy if you are working with SMD parts. By … Read moreUsing Microwave Oven Parts to build a Soldering Iron Heat Controller
This test set is primarily designed to test step-down, step-up transformers, for open and shorted windings. It can determine if the device under test has a low resistance to ac current. It can also measure the dc current resistance in ohms. By Henry Bowman Introduction The test set uses a 16 VAC, 60hz signal to … Read moreSimple Transformer Winding Tester Circuit
This simple MOSFET tester does a quick job of testing both enhanced mode type N and P-channel mosfets. It checks for shorts between gate, drain and source. Designed By: Henry Bowman It also distinguishes between N and P-channel mosfets. Once the connections are correctly made to the mosfet, all testing is done without reversing connections. … Read moreSimple MOSFET Tester and Sorter Circuit
