may be a dumb question, but am supposed to have any voltage on my heat sinks or could that be a bad transistor?

Re: voltage reading on heat sinks
Depends on where they are. I think you're likely to find some in the primary that are hot. -
Re: voltage reading on heat sinks
ive got continuity between my heat sink and one of my transistor legs, forgive my newbyness

Re: voltage reading on heat sinks
That's pretty normal, although I was repairing one power supply and I damaged the mica insulator while repairing it, the effect was that I had drain shorted to the heatsink and the heatsink was already tied to the source/ground, naturally this did make a nice fuse pop!Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: voltage reading on heat sinks
Have you seen the message "Test before touching" with regard to heatsinks being live?My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.Comment

Re: voltage reading on heat sinks
He means put a meter on it like you would anything else to test for voltage BEFORE you touch it with your hands.Comment
