[[User:Zenwizard|Zenwizard Studios]] found thirteen of these in a [[475]] and thirteen of those tested as having a parasitic reverse diode junction | [[User:Zenwizard|Zenwizard Studios]] found thirteen of these in a [[475]] and showed that thirteen of those tested as "having a parasitic reverse diode junction" on a cheap component tester. | ||
''There is no such diode, parasitic or not'' – the cheap tester displays this symbol when the DUT has a low reverse breakdown voltage as seen in the traces below. | |||
See the thread at https://groups.io/g/TekScopes/topic/101335545#201002''. | |||
Since reverse breakdown can damage the DUT, small-signal RF transistors should not be tested on component testers that may trigger that breakdown. They should be checked only on a curve tracer. | |||
