[sdiy] Noob FET testing question.

[Barry Klein]

I got a kit from m3electronix.com that is a microcontroller driven test box with LCD.  You just connect the ezhooks in any order and it tells goodness or badness.  But the website bounces now so look for a clone of it somewhere.  Tests transistors, fets, triacs, scrs etc...  and tells various parameters on the LCD as well as assigning EBC pin designations to the ezhooks...

Hi All.

I'm not familiar with testing FETs - does anyone have any favourite method, can it be done with a DMM, and what should I be looking for?

Some devices I'd like to check are JFETs - 2N4856 and 2N3819 J-channel, and 2N5460 P-channel.

Sorry if this is a dumb question.......any tips appreciated.

cheers,
Dave
