In recent years, various electronic devices have emerged one after another, which has brought great convenience to our life. The most widely used component in various electronic equipment should be the resistor. If the resistor is not good, it will directly affect the normal use of the later circuit to a certain extent. Therefore, in order to ensure the normal use of the circuit, we must pay attention to the detection of resistors. Today, let's learn the actual detection method of resistance.

1. Detection of fixed resistor

A connect the two probes (regardless of positive and negative) with the pins at both ends of the resistance to measure the actual resistance value. In order to improve the measurement accuracy, the measuring range should be selected according to the nominal value of the measured resistance. Due to the nonlinear relationship of Ohm scale, the division of the middle section is relatively fine. Therefore, the pointer indication value should fall to the middle section of the scale as far as possible, that is, within 20% ~ 80% radian range at the beginning of the full scale, so as to make the measurement more accurate. According to the resistance error level. Errors of ± 5%, ± 10% or ± 20% are allowed between the reading and the nominal resistance value respectively. If it is inconsistent and exceeds the error range, it indicates that the resistance value has changed.

B note: during the test, especially when measuring the resistance of more than tens of K Ω, do not touch the probe and the conductive part of the resistance; At least one end of the detected resistance shall be welded off from the circuit to prevent other components in the circuit from affecting the test and causing measurement error; Although the resistance value of the color ring resistance can be determined by the color ring mark, it is better to use a multimeter to test its actual resistance value.

2. Detection of cement resistance

The method and precautions for testing cement resistance are exactly the same as those for testing ordinary fixed resistance.

3. Detection of fused resistor

In the circuit, when the fusing resistor is fused and open circuit, it can be judged according to experience: if the surface of the fusing resistor is found to be blackened or charred, it can be determined that it is caused by its overload and the current passing through it exceeds many times the rated value; If there is no trace on its surface and there is an open circuit, it indicates that the current flowing is just equal to or slightly greater than its rated fusing value. The judgment of the quality of the fused resistor without any trace on the surface can be measured with the help of the R * 1 gear of the multimeter. In order to ensure accurate measurement, one end of the fused resistor shall be welded off the circuit. If the measured resistance value is infinite, it indicates that the fusing resistor has failed and open circuit. If the measured resistance value is far from the nominal value, it indicates that the resistance has changed and should not be used again. In the maintenance practice, it is found that a few fuse resistors are broken down and short circuited in the circuit, which should also be paid attention to during detection.

4. Potentiometer detection

When checking the potentiometer, first turn the handle to see whether the handle rotates smoothly, whether the switch is flexible, whether the "click" sound is clear when the switch is on and off, and listen to the friction sound between the internal contact point of the potentiometer and the resistor. If there is a "rustle" sound, it indicates that the quality is not good. When testing with a multimeter, first select the appropriate resistance gear of the multimeter according to the resistance value of the potentiometer to be measured, and then test according to the following methods.

A measure both ends of "1" and "2" with the ohmic block of the multimeter, and its reading shall be the nominal resistance value of the potentiometer. If the pointer of the multimeter does not move or the resistance value is much different, it indicates that the potentiometer has been damaged.

B. check whether the movable arm of the potentiometer is in good contact with the resistor. Measure both ends of "1" and "2" (or "2" and "3") with the ohm gear of the multimeter, and rotate the rotating shaft of the potentiometer counterclockwise to close to the "off" position. At this time, the smaller the resistance value, the better. Then rotate the shaft handle slowly clockwise, the resistance value should gradually increase, and the pointer in the meter should move smoothly. When the shaft handle is rotated to the extreme position "3", the resistance value shall be close to the nominal value of the potentiometer. If the pointer of the multimeter jumps during the rotation of the shaft handle of the potentiometer, it indicates that the movable contact has the fault of poor contact.

5. Detection of positive temperature coefficient thermistor (PTC)

When testing, use the R * 1 gear of the multimeter, which can be operated in two steps: a normal temperature detection (indoor temperature is close to 25 ℃); Contact the two probes with the two pins of the PTC thermistor, measure the actual resistance value, and compare it with the nominal resistance value. If the difference between the two is within ± 2 Ω, it is normal. If the difference between the actual resistance value and the nominal resistance value is too large, it indicates that its performance is poor or damaged. B heating detection; On the basis that the normal temperature test is normal, the second step of test heating test can be carried out. Heat a heat source (such as electric soldering iron) close to the PTC thermistor, and monitor whether the resistance value increases with the increase of temperature with a multimeter. If so, it indicates that the thermistor is normal. If the resistance value does not change, it indicates that its performance has deteriorated and can not be used anymore. Be careful not to make the heat source close to the PTC thermistor or directly contact the thermistor to prevent it from being burned.

6. Detection of negative temperature coefficient thermistor (NTC)

(1) Measure the nominal resistance value RT. the method of measuring NTC thermistor with a multimeter is the same as that of measuring ordinary fixed resistance, that is, the actual value of RT can be measured directly by selecting an appropriate resistance block according to the nominal resistance value of NTC thermistor. However, NTC thermistor is very sensitive to temperature, so the following points should be paid attention to during the test:

A. RT is measured by the manufacturer when the ambient temperature is 25 ℃, so when measuring RT with a multimeter, it should also be carried out when the ambient temperature is close to 25 ℃ to ensure the reliability of the test.

B. The measured power shall not exceed the specified value to avoid measurement error caused by current thermal effect.

C. Pay attention to correct operation. During the test, do not hold the thermistor with your hands to prevent the human body temperature from affecting the test.

(2) Estimated temperature coefficient α T first measure the resistance value RT1 at room temperature T1, then use an electric soldering iron as a heat source, close to the thermistor RT, measure the resistance value rt2, and use a thermometer to measure the average temperature T2 on the surface of the thermistor RT at this time, and then calculate.

7. Testing of varistor

Use the R * 1K gear of the multimeter to measure the forward and reverse insulation resistance between the two pins of the varistor, which is infinite. Otherwise, it indicates that the leakage current is large. If the measured resistance is very small, the varistor has been damaged and cannot be used.

8. Detection of photosensitive resistance

A. Cover the light transmission window of the photoresist with a piece of black paper. At this time, the pointer of the multimeter basically remains motionless, and the resistance value is close to infinity. The higher the value, the better the photoresist performance. If this value is very small or close to zero, it indicates that the photoresist has been burned through and damaged and can no longer be used.

B. Aim a light source at the light transmission window of the photoresist. At this time, the pointer of the multimeter should swing greatly and the resistance value should be significantly reduced. The higher the value, the better the photoresist performance. If this value is very large or even infinite, it indicates that the photoresist is internally open circuit damaged and can no longer be used.

C. Shine light on the light transmission window of the photoresist, and shake the small black paper on the upper part of the light shielding window of the photoresist to make it receive light intermittently. At this time, the multimeter pointer should swing left and right with the shaking of the black paper. If the pointer of the multimeter always stops at a certain position and does not swing with the shaking of the paper, it indicates that the photosensitive material of the photosensitive resistance has been damaged.
