IT-1121 Semiconductor Curve Tracer The Heathkit IT-1121 Semiconductor Curve Tracer is a versatile and sophisticated instrument. It accurately measures the operating parameters of virtually all types of discrete semiconductors – gain (beta), leakage, breakdown voltage, saturation, forward conduction voltage, output admittance, linearity, capacitance effects, temperature effects, etc. The curve Tracer also can be used to select devices for specific design applications; for sorting, inspecting, and testing semiconductors; and for troubleshooting.
