FAQ FAQ ID
For a TekSelect product will the option being added get the same discount as the main unit?
Yes, for soft options activated by a keycode or dongle as long as the unit has not already been reconditioned (those with a 1 week or less delivery). Eligible soft options are outlined in a note on the TekSelect availability list. The option must be...

For TekSelect products when are installation charges applied to option additions?
Installation charges will normally apply for option additions to units that have already been reconditioned (units that show a 1 week or less delivery). Installation charges will not be incurred if we install the option during the reconditioning...

How can I test a MOSFET for drain-source breakdown voltage on my curve tracer?
Drain-Source Breakdown Voltage - V(br)DSSWhat It Is:Drain-source breakdown voltage is the VDS at which a specified value of ID flows, with VGS=0.  Since it's the reverse current through a pinched-off channel, ID exhibits a knee shaped rise,...

How can I test a MOSFET for Drain-Source On-Resistance on my curve tracer?
Drain-Source On-Resistance - RDS(on)What It Is:Drain-source on-resistance is the resistance between drain and source with a specified VGS applied to bias the device to the on-state.  The measurement is made in the ohmic (i.e. linear) region of the...

How can I test a MOSFET for Forward Gate Body Leakage Current on my curve tracer?
Zero Gate Voltage Drain Current - IDSS What It Is:Zero gate voltage drain current is the ID that flows when VGS=0.  It’s the on-state current in a depletion mode MOSFET and the off-state current in an enhancement mode MOSFET.On the curve tracer, the...

How can I test a MOSFET for Gate Threshold Voltage on my curve tracer?
Gate Threshold Voltage - VGS(th) What It Is:Gate threshold voltage is the lowest VGS at which a specified small amount of ID flows.  The test is run with VGS = VDS.On the curve tracer, the Collector Supply provides VDS.  Patch cords are used to...
