testing transistor

[moss99]

Hi all i am new to amp diy etc so trying to fix a few amps i use an atlas semiconductor to test transistors etc but my latest project has
philips TDA1514A where i would expect to see the output transistors they have 9 pins not the 3 i am used to testing
can anyone point me in the right direction to how i go about testing these
thanks

hi
can you upload a photo of that transistor who have 9 pins or either what`s written on it..

 

[moss99]

Hi yes it has on it :
TDA1514A
N9C0K1
HSH9930 7

thanks..

first check if there is short circuit between any two pins using DDM then measure the voltage on pins 6&4 wrt ground

 

[moss99]

I have them out of circuit so should i put them back in to test them ?

 

[PROFESSOUR2003]

check for short circuit between pins out of the circuit if there isn`t . put them back and check for voltages on pins 6&4 and also does it became warm while working .??

TDA1514A is an IC, not a transistor. If its blowing a fuse, than it is probably gone bad. If it's not working, get the data sheet and check voltages. There is no transistor test. Except for shorts between pins, there is no simple way to test out of circuit. Good Luck

Hi ok
i was testing for voltages on pins black probe of dmm on chassis was not really getting very good readings when a bit of a pop smoke and 2 blown fuses dont know if i shorted 2 pins or not (i was being very careful i thought)
But looking at amp it seems much more simple than others i have succesfully repaired it seems the mains power go,s to transformer but i cant see what changes the voltage to dc no bridge rectifiers
i will try and post a photo ..A1.JPG - download now for free. File sharing. Software file sharing. Free file hosting. File upload. FileFactory.com

Please upload your pictures to this site.
FileFactory does not work very well.

here we go .

can you see the photo ?

 

[moss99]

its now blowing the 2 fuses on the main board so i have ordered 2 more of these ic ,s is it likely i have damaged something else ?

fuses blowing!!!
Then you have never used your mains bulb tester.
Shame on you.

I remember an amplifier I built with those Philips ICs ,as per datasheet .PSU was given by a 19+19 V ,60 W trafo (a little bit underpowered ).
The sound was standard ,having some roughness around 700Hz-1 KHz which made me dislike them .
Remember that the back is connected to V+ (or V- ) which may
be a killer if heatsink is grounded and the ICs not isolated.
