Hi all,
I'm completing a circuit on a PCB to drive an electrolyser that uses a FET (IXTP62N15P) [Pic 1].
To check that it is not damaged by the heat from the soldering iron I put a mini tester onto each of the three leads before installing it (Pic 2) and then did the same after soldering (Pic 3).
The readout looks rather different despite my taking a lot of care during soldering including using heat sink clips and minimising the touch time to about 4 secs.
Can anyone say if the FET is still likely to work given the second readout?
Thanks
Jules
