Transistor Characteristics Apparatus (Socket Type)
Product Code : SCL-EAE-11330
Quick answer: The Transistor Characteristics Apparatus (Socket Type) is used to plot the input and output characteristics of a bipolar junction transistor and estimate its current gain. The transistor sits in a socket, so it can be replaced or swapped for comparison without soldering. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for schools, colleges and universities.

How the transistor characteristics experiment is done
A bipolar junction transistor is a current-controlled device: a small input current at the base controls a larger output current in the collector circuit. Its behaviour is summed up in two sets of graphs. The input characteristic relates input current to input voltage, and the output characteristics show output current against output voltage for several fixed input currents.
Mounting the transistor in a socket rather than soldering it in place has a practical teaching benefit. A damaged device can be replaced quickly, and a class can insert different compatible transistors to compare their curves and current gain on the same circuit.
- Insert a compatible transistor into the socket, matching each lead to its marked terminal.
- Keep the supplies at minimum and connect the meters as shown on the apparatus.
- Record input current at a series of input voltages with the output voltage held constant.
- Set a fixed input current and record output current as the output voltage is varied; repeat for other input currents.
- Plot the characteristic curves and estimate current gain from the readings.
