You solder a MOSFET or BJT (as desired) to a board.

Solder 3 header pins to the through holes.

Plug the board into your solderless breadboard when needed.


Make test circuits up on a solderless breadboard, you can test 33 transistors in just a few minutes.
Takes only seconds to measure strategic voltage points: Vbe, Vce, V(RC).


Takes 5 seconds to measure HFE using an Arduino component tester or a DMM that has a built in BJT tester.
