Repository for DCA75 measurements

[counterdeliver]

Apologies in advance if I missed an obvious post/discussion… given that the Peak Atlas DCA75 uses different test voltages from most/all datasheets, is there a collection anywhere of in-spec DCA75 measurements for various components (or categories, e.g., JFETs, etc.)?

I see scattered, individual references to this or that component, and I DO understand that interpolation can be achieved by plotting curves (if you have a PC and the time), but I was just wondering if there was a “quick and dirty” reference…

Yeah, someone here has a big diode collection
@thomasbe86 was that you?

Check out Appendix C of the DCA75 user guide to get the measurement values used by the DCA75 - this can often help you connect or extrapolate/interpolate DCA values with spec sheets for various transistors, etc.

Note added: I can't append the user guide pdf here, seems that pdfs aren't accepted as attachable files - so check the Peak web page

And yes, if you use curve trace mode, then you can spec the values from the DCA75 at the current or voltage of your own choice

Here's a screenshot of the first page of Appendix C...

Thanks. I found the diode page earlier (super helpful) and it got me thinking about whether there was something similar for other common components.

I guess I need to bite the bullet and create a windows VM and start plotting some curves.
