-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.
