Transistors are among the main components in electronics. Transistors made of two germanium diodes are put together. Working voltage transistor with a diode is 0.6 volts.
The transistor has three legs are:
• emitter (E)• BASE (B)• COLECTOR (C)
There are 2 types of transistors, namely:
1. PNP transistor (anode cathode anode / cathode leg held together)
2. NPN transistor (cathode anode cathode / anode leg held together)
Example transistor: C 828, FCS 9014, FCS 9013, TIP 32, TIP 31, C5149, C5129, C5804, BU2520DF, BU2507DX, etc.

Determining Leg Transistor
Play limit measure on ohmmeter X10 or X100.Suppose we call the foot transistor A, B, and C.When the probe is red / black => leg A and the other probe => 2 other foot alternately move the needle all and if reversed hubungnya position does not move then that's all legs BASIS.
- Determining Leg Colector NPN
Play limit or measure on the ohmmeter X1K X10K.When the probe is red => B and probe foot black => feet C. Then leg A (base) and leg B is held by hand between the legs but do not get connected. When the needle moves a little means that the foot B foot COLECTOR.If the leg base and colector already known means that the foot of which is the emitter.
