How to Identify PNP and NPN Transistors (with a Simple Circuit)

PNP NPN Identifier thumbnail.png
In this project I’ll make one of the easiest PNP and NPN circuit identifiers ever. You’ll see how easy It is to make one! I've also posted on my website a bit of the theory about PNP and NPN Transistors I would recommend you to read it  first.

This project is great to learn more about:
  • Transistors
  • Simple DIY Circuits
  • PNP and NPN Transistors

1x LED
1x Pushbutton
1x 1k Ohm Resistor
1x 10k Ohm Resistor
1x Breadboard
1x 9V Battery (and Battery Clip)
Some Wires

Schematics

Just follow these Schematics and you'll be fine! :)

Optional Step

I've decided to Solder everything in a Stripboard and that's the result. This step is optional you might want to use only the breadboard.
