Diodes and Transistors Card (320-21)

Description

This practical resource allows students to investigate semiconductor diodes and transistors through a range of practical activities. The card is designed for use with the Electronics Study Trainer (320-00).

Practical activities based around this card are provided on the digital curriculum disk provided with the trainer.

The card may also be used with our optional cloud-based software. This contains theory presentations, investigations, and assessments, which link directly to the practical activities carried out using this resource.

The Card Includes the Following:

• Zener diode
• Light emitting diode (LED)
• NPN bipolar transistors (x2) in Darlington configuration
• PNP bipolar transistor
• Field effect transistor (FET)
• Switched faults for fault-finding activities

Practical tasks include the following:

• Voltage Stabilisation using a zener diode
• PNP transistor switch
• NPN transistor as a voltage amplifier
• FET operation
• Testing and fault-finding diode and transistor circuits

Items Included:
