  • Reverse/forward bias tester for relay and diode packages
    Patent number: 5428294
    Abstract: A tester for individually testing diode packages, double pole relays and single pole relays includes a circuit contained within a housing, which circuit connects the diode package or relay being tested to a source of 12-volt direct current and transmits the direct current through the diode package, or relay, to an array of indicator lamps under the control of one normally open and two normally closed switches. A forward and reverse bias switch controls the direction of current through the diodes of the diode package and the internal diode of the relays to determine if the diodes and internal diode are oriented properly and conduct current properly.
