Hi Everyone,
I have a rather basic question. I just received an order from Bob Roberts and I immediately tested the HOT before installing in my G07 chassis. I recently watched Randy Fromm's video on transistors and thought I was pretty solid on testing transistors. So, when I test this 2SD871 I immediately got a short between base and emitter. I get a .437 junction drop between base (red) and collector (black) and between emitter (red) and collector (black). And open between emitter (black) and collector (red) and between base (black) and collector (red).
So, is there something I am missing? or is it possible to have a bad transistor out of the box?
Thanks,
Daniel
