, it's a FET ,negative probe on source and positive on drain with the meter on diode test mode. i am getting 22 milli volts .022. I think it is a Schottky barrier . is this too low? do they have this info on the datasheet, would this be the forward voltage?

Re: testing a TPCA8A10-H
In circuit or not? 0.022V is too low, there is a short-circuit.
Flip the leads, what do you get? -
Re: testing a TPCA8A10-H
reverse body diode maybe?Comment

Re: testing a TPCA8A10-H
I get OL open loop. as it should. it's from an HP AIO that it gets a beep code for the crow bar circuit.
I noticed you are from Canada, great country. about 40 years, closer to 50 now I went to Canada on a motorcycle from Maryland. had a great time. a lot of the people i talked to referred to the United States as the
'Lower 48" like we were all one big country. there were a few that sill harbored bad feelings about us burning your parliament building in the 1830's

Re: testing a TPCA8A10-H
would that be inside the package? all FETs have a Zener from the drain to the source
what i don't like about FB is you can't add your own hobby, it has to be one of their predefined hobbies. I do rail fanning ( train spotting ) among others that they do not have.Comment

Re: testing a TPCA8A10-H
most fets have a reverse schotky diode in them.Comment

Re: testing a TPCA8A10-H
I would expect a multimeter reading ~300mV on diode-test across the body diode.
Something is odd with 22mV? so I would test it (multimter) on known good diodes. Maybe it's a 328 tester or something.
But getting nothing in the flipped polarity, at least means the mosfet is not shorted.
I have a multimeter with Low Power Ohms that I will use to look for shorts or leakage as well on semi's.Comment

Re: testing a TPCA8A10-H
i unsolder the FET from the board and it tested at around 175mV (.175) which i believe is in the realm of being good for a Schottky diode.it's a PNPComment

Re: testing a TPCA8A10-H
OK that looks fine 175mV for the body diode Schottky at low test current.
Generally, mosfets have 3 terminals so 6 possible readings on them.Comment

Re: testing a TPCA8A10-H
look at STJ's datasheet. has the pinoutsComment

Hi there, i am currently diagnosing my corsair rm750 that wont turn on, after a power trip.
Before the power trip, previously i need to push power button on my pc case quite a bit in order to turn the pc (and power supply on), however after the power trip now i cannot turn the pc on at all and i opened the power supply, and found out some of the component(s) are blown. (picture attached)
My current diagnostic is that the (schottky) diode marked "SF" in the 5Vsb circuit are blown and possibly the ES1DF diode too.
Can anyone help me identify the component... -
2+ year old TV with many (720? 65" version has 720) mini LED dimming zones. TV boots, has sound, panel picture can be seen with flashlight. No backlight. No TV model sticker on rear panel (Maybe Samsung service removed it, read below). Found the model # through the PSU and zoned LED driver board numbers.
PSU has a click near LED output circuit at 1 second interval, sounded like the 4x barrier rectifier area. Protective pastic liner under PSU shows heat signature on the Schottky Barrier Rectifier in this circuit. Found a shorted diode (2 diode per rectifier, failed rectifier labled... -
(I am self-taught in electronics over 20 years as a hobbyist, but I lack some of the fundamentals that folks who went to school for this would know... so please bear with me as I get deeper into this new hobby of retro computing...)
I'm familiar with diode mode in that it produces a small voltage between the leads and displays the the amount of voltage drop when the leads are connected... however....
Why do the board repair folks always put the positive lead to board ground and use the negative lead to probe the board itself? My intuition would be to put the negative... -
Hello, I am looking for help to replace a damaged diode. The tristar was replaced and a diode was damaged in the process. I have a picture of the diode but dont have an exact donor. I mostly have macbooks for donors and only a few ipad and iphone boards. Diode part number: DSF01S30SCAP
Im not sure where to find the ipad board number. Anybody have an idea where else this diode is used on other boards? Thanks.... -
Back in 2020 i bought a (2nd hand) compact ATX psu to replace my current one. My PC case only fits very short ATX power supplies so i didn't really have the choice of buying a decent 80Plus unit. The current unit is a modded YoungYear unit that i made a thread about a while ago:
A "nice" YoungYear unit? - Badcaps
The "new" unit is a KDM-M6480 480W psu, the 480W number is a typical KDM bullshit claim of course, but the 24A rating on the 12V rail seemed reasonable and the "Active PFC" claim gave me a bit of hope that this was going to be decent-ish....
