Testing a UJT Uni Junction Transistor This testing procedure is for use with a digital multimeter in the OHM's test-range. The UJT is a solid-state 3-terminal (TO-18 case) semiconductor. UJT's are used in pulse/timing, oscillator, sensing, and thyristor triggering circuits. The most common one being probably the 2N2646 from Motorola. UJT testing is pretty easy once you know how to do it. 1) With a Digital Multimeter, set in the Ohms position, read the resistance between the Base 1 and Base 2; then reverse the meter-leads and take another reading. Regardless of the meterlead polarity the measured resistance should approximately be equal (high resistance). 2) Now connect the negative (-) lead of the ohmmeter to the emitter of the UJT. With the positive (+) lead, measure the resistance from the emitter to Base 1 and then from the emitter to base 2. Both readings should indicate high resistance and about equal to each other. 3) Exchange the negative lead to the emitter with the positive lead. Measure with the negative lead the resistance between emitter and Base 1 and from Base 2 to emitter. Both readings should show low resistance and about equal to each other. 4) Remember that the 'B1' pin should always be connected to the load and not B2. I bench tested the following UJT models: 2N2646, NTE6401, ECG6401, 2N2647, NTE6409. Tested with the above testing procedures. Testing method was accurate. I also tested faulty UJT's of the same make and models. Testing method was also accurate. The UJT's main application is (and was) to work with and connect to SCR's. It was especially designed for this purpose. But with only a couple external components it can produce an oscillator. As previously stated, only the UJT's B1 connection was designed to work with a load. The 'load' is connected between the '0' volt rail and B1. The standard and more common UJT for many decades was the 2N2646. These days trying to find one can be difficult and expensive. Back to Circuits or Gadgets page. Copyright © 1999, Tony van Roon
