![]() The 'Diode Test' on the meter is what I meant, yes. I think it's always that way for a TO-220 package (some oddball old Motorola bipolar RF transistors were different with the base in the middle but that's a different kettle of fish and entirely non applicable here) ![]() The first picture on the page of two FETs has them oriented so the legs are Gate, Drain, Source from left to right. ![]() (note, some analogue meters will reverse that)įETs are funny things, you can charge the gate and it will appear short between drain and source for a period of time after when you measure the Drain to Source legs, follow this guide and you should be ok. It should appear open circuit one way (positive meter terminal to the striped cathode end of the diode, black to the anode end) and reversed you should read the forward voltage drop.
