SCR Tester
By Jestine Yong on June 16, 2010
This month repair newsletter was about building your own SCR/Triac tester and one of my ERG members Mr Beh from Iran had completed and fully tested the SCR/Triac Tester- This is what he wrote “HI JESTIN for sure you can share it in blog. As i told you i had an old scr tester but this one that i made according your diagram is much better than that one thanks again
beh”
Congratulation!

that is nice..you know what is it would fantastic..is someone can build a backlight tester so we do not have to guess all the time that the back light is working or not..I know there are a lot of backlight testers in the market but to me, they are expensive and shipping to Jerusalem is even more expensive..

Hi Zed,
The article contributed by the ERG member did not place in the schematic. It just explain the proper way to test the ccfl. Actually I'm still looking for any schematic that show how to built the tester. By the way may i know what is your blog website?

my blog www.fillwithgoodthings.blogspot.com. but right now i am not writing any article. i am only posting some helpful website and featuring some new test equipment like the new esr digital meter from quebec canada which they sell in ebay. I remember that sir john preher when you his lcd tv repair video that his backlight tester comes from portable dvd unit. i am right?

HI Zed,
I guess your website should not put in the "www" because you are using blogspot. As for john preher backlight tester i have no idea that it came from dvd portable unit. You mean that one can salvage the dvd portable unit to make one backlight tester?

well I hope this is not the odd question of the day. i deal in motive power applications and have been perplexed by some smaller block style SCR diodes. i have not been able to figure out where the leads go. Sad, i know! please anyone help. thanks Kent

Hi Kent,
First you need to read the part number of the SCR then locate the datasheet from the internet. From there you will know which pin is Anode, Cathode and Gate.

The CCFL tester in my video is from a portable DVD player. The DVD player used a single CCFL side light and a light guide and difussers to illuminate the entire LCD panel. The inverter is very simple and requires no on/off signal or reference voltage only 9V-12V DC.It has Vcc and GND on power supply input connector. It will work to test lamps in up to 32" TV, anything larger and it does not light the entire length of the lamp. I am working on a design for a kit we can all make easily right now, it is a flyback circuit, very similar to the inverter circuit from the portable DVD player and uses common parts like 555ic and RF510 just working out the final bugs and I will post it with a schematic and parts list on my blog and probably put it in next months news letter so hold tight everyone. If anyone would like to collaborate on the design just email me and this can be a team effort. Best wishes everyone.
