[Eric Wasatonic] had a box of SWB2433 transistors that he had very little information about. In order to discover their properties, he fired up his curve tracer to compare these transistors with more ...

In the ever-dynamic and fast-moving world of semiconductors, why do some old transistors like 2N3904 keep on going for decades? Bill Schweber takes a closer look at this remarkable premise while ...

On a physical level, a transistor’s internal functioning is very complex, but, in practice, using it in some simple experiments is quite easy and affordable for everyone. A transistor allows to create ...
