- | When doing a repair job, it's nice to have a handy testing cheatsheet for a range of electronic components. So far I haven't found one, so I created my own here which covers everything from very basic fuses and resistors to MOSFETs, even Gas Arrestor Tubes. All using a multimeter and other tools. I've tried to cater for absolute beginners to intermediate hobbyists. | + | When doing a repair job, it's nice to have a handy testing cheatsheet for a range of electronic components.

My favourite tools are the [[https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=AN8009 | Aneng AN8009 multimeter]] and [[https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=gm328 | GM 328 component tester]]. You can find them both on Aliexpress. | My favourite tools are the [[https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=AN8009 | Aneng AN8009 multimeter]] and [[https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=gm328 | GM 328 component tester]].

- | ===== Gas Glass Surge Arrestors / Gas Glass Discharge Tubes ===== | ||
- | {{:component-cheatsheet:gas-surge-testing.png?direct |}}I include this because they look like a cross between a zener diode and the colour bands of a resistor. Little is written about them, but they can be located in some switch mode power supplies. | ||

- | Switch to continuity mode. | ||

- | Connect the probe at both ends. | ||

- | If you get a continuity beep then the tube is good. Otherwise it is bad. | ||
