DROK Transistor Tester LCR Meter, Mosfet Transistor Capacitor Tester, Mega328 NPN PNP Transistor Diode Resistor Inductor Capacitance MOS SCR ESR Meter Automatic Checker Detector

The Drok tester is similar to many units, but is better built than most. The product includes a zero insertion force socket which may be plugged into the header socket holes protruding from the front of the unit. The fit of the ZIF could be firmer, and it probably would have been just as well to mount the ZIF to the circuit board and not bother with headers. The operation is pretty straight forward and the unit had no trouble identifying various types of thyristors, junction transistors, MOSFETs and diodes I tried. The only device which tripped up detection was a 50 Amp Schotty diode, which showed as “no component.” To be fair, that diode also eluded an expensive tester. I know the diode is good because it behaves properly under load. I believe this tester is a handy addition to have on the work bench as long as you keep your expectations realistic about what it can do.

This tester is SUPER SIMPLE to use and very helpful in testing components quickly. I take old amps and refresh them but sometimes I just want to swap parts and not have to order 50 of something to get a part that may/may not fix the issue. This little guy helps me spot check components and narrow down problem areas quick. The only "issue" I have is that the connector that latches seems really cheap and I feel like it may not last. Good news is that they are cheap and can be ordered easily.

This tester does a decent job of testing a variety of devices. Well worth the price. My major complaint is that the ZIF socket doesn't stay seated very well. It's a great device and works if you hold it still, but tends to slip out of the built-in socket, making it somewhat unreliable. I ended up hot-gluing the ZIF socket to the tester and that seems to solve the problem. The remaining problem is that the lever on the ZIF partially covers the "Test" button making it a bit more difficult to press. Besides those minor issues, the tester is quite good. it's now my go-to LED tester since it's really convenient.

This little unit is very handy to have around, works great

I spend a good amount of time troubleshooting electronic faults at work, replacing faulty components. In many cases, I am working with circuit boards that I don't have the ability to power on the circuit using a DC power supply or batteries, for regular troubleshooting by measuring voltages with a DMM and a oscilloscope. This device is handy, it's always with me. For example, some LEDs can be tested using a DMM such as Fluke, set to the diode test measurement, depending on the power requirements for a particular LED and its color and illumination characteristics. On some LEDs one can see the diode light up briefly using a Fluke (or other DMM). Some LED's however will not illuminate using just a diode tester on a DMM. When testing LEDs, I reach for this device before a DMM, it reliably illuminates and LED with briefly or a rapid series of pulses, including Cree LEDs. As another reviewer has mentioned, not all circuit-testing is done on live circuits simply because the ability to energize the circuit may not be feasible or possible. This device has saved me a lot of time where a circuit arrangement that I test results in a complete oddball of a test result, such as reporting a double diode instead of a bijunction transistor, or other circuit boards do not result in the same repeatable test result for faulty boards, while the board is not energized. I could not do my work without a multimeter available as my most important tool, I simply wouldn't bother. At the same time, this device reports results that are arrived at by intuition and practice using just a DMM. One other valuable function of this device is that I can take a number of transistors and get a consistent reading for range of performance so that I can match a number of transistors in cases there they must perform almost equally well. Using this device is far simpler than creating a test fixture to test transistors so they can be matched. I do this even with resistors too, 1% tolerance sounds nice but is not always the case--I use the ohmmeter function on my DMM for that, it's simple. For testing transistors or diodes, this device makes segregating similar performers together, much simpler. I haven't even needed to change the 9V battery in almost two-years of use.

I acquired this after sending back another cheaper solution...twice. This one measures great so far - resistors, capacitors, diodes and transistors. Like other comments, the extra socket is a bit of an afterthought that tries to pop out when you push the lever down. For anything with two leads I've been using some jumpers that have mini-hooks on one end. One product suggestion: if they have anything to do with it, put the logo on the device label and put the website address in the manual. The startup delay is annoying and I don't really want to see it every time I power on.

I had one of these for about two years and for the longest time this has been indispensable. I use this on my bench probably as much as my vacuum desoldering iron. It's just one of those things that puts you on the next level with electronics diagnosis and repair. I really like how you can connect a wide variety of components and it'll identify failures in transistors, capacitors, diodes, resistors, etc. It's sort of like a Pokémon pokedex but for electronic components. That's when it works though... Some downsides 1. Larger power transistors may be soft-failing and this won't catch very poor bias 2. The screen only stays on for about 10 seconds after identifying a component and you can't change this 3. Sometimes this will mis identify a component, so it's not 100% clear cut 4. Probably the biggest drawback and where the designers need to improve is ANY capacitor with about 50v or more rating that may have a charge stored up will instantly kill this device the moment you hook it up. There's no bleeder circuit or anything like that to kill the charge in a capacitor and the electronics inside are all pick-n-place size so it will ne next to impossible to rebuild the unit should you knock it out. That aside, it's still a really good value for the money. I've spent a lot more $$ on things that did a lot less help with my repairs. If they could include a bleeder circuit for the capacitor and make the screen just stay on until you hit the power button again, that'd really shine this product up.

Overall, I am happy with this tester. The bad: the LCD display is small/hard to read for people over 40, the ZIF socket is flimsy and this impacts the user's ability to securely attach component wires you want to test. It could definitely be improved. Finally, the 40 second automatic shutoff is a pain. It sounds like a long time, but in practice, it is not. If they extended the automatic shutoff time to something like two minutes, it would be perfect and I suspect the battery life wouldn't be impacted all that much. Finally, the "manual" is not much use, more of a spec sheet than a user manual. The good: it is accurate. Very accurate. I have benchmarked it against various components of known value, as well as another component measurement device. The unit also provides very detailed component information. The color LCD display is nice, though as I said previously, you will have to wear reading glasses if you are middle-aged or older. I have used this device frequently over the last 6 months and it has never had even a hiccup. Overall, this is a nice, reasonably priced testing device.

No incluye batería

Der Ziffsockel wackelte,ich habe ihn deshalb mit Heißkleber unterfüttert.Es zeigt meißtens "kein oder defektes Bauteil" an. Hält auch nicht besonders lange. Ich würde es nie wieder kaufen

I’ve initially bought it to measure matched paired transistors in power amplifiers. It basically does the Job. In terms of build it’s a little flimsy and the socket is not of a great quality as it keeps falling out. For this price point it’s perfect!

This is by far the best measurement product I have ever bought. The schematic representation and precise readings are useful for parts that have worn off and do not show markings like old caps and multicolored LED's. I just got it, so long term reliability has not been validated but still it is worth the price no doubt about it! I want another one.
