520C
Model 520C
Industrial Transistor Tester
The B+K Precision model 520C Transistor
Tester is designed for in-circuit and out-of
circuit transistor testing with special features for
making additional tests on devices out-of circuit.
The instrument is designed for a minimum amount of
control manipulation, making for rapid testing of most devices.
■Determines
good or bad transistors, FET’s, SCR’s,
or diodes.
■Patented
limited-energy pulse circuit permits in-circuit
testing in the presence of low shunt impedance’s with
complete safety for the device under test.
■Easy
to operate panel eliminates the need to refer to
a reference or operating manual-only three switches,
no panel adjustments.
■Six
position test switch makes it unnecessary to know the
device terminal identification.
■A
LED array identifies leakage in both
Silicon and Germanium devices.
■Front
Panel socket for out-of –circuit transistor testing.

Model 510A
Portable Transistor Tester
The model 510A performs Good/Bad test for
transistors, FET’s, and SCR’s. It also identifies
NPN or PNP for transistors, N-channel or P-
channel for FET, FET-gate lead, all leads of tran-
sistors in LO drive, base lead in HI drive, and all
leads of SCR. It uses a patented limited-energy
pulse circuit, which provides highly successful
in-circuit testing in the presence of low shunt
impedance’s with complete safety for the
device under test. The instrument is
designed for a minimum amount of con-
trol manipulation, allowing for rapid test-
ing of most devices.
