Electronics
1950's Germanium power transistors along side modern surface mount, Silicon MOSFET power transistors.
OC28, OC35 (5-8A, 25-35V) and IPT60P028G7 Infineon (600V, 75A).
Secondary breakdown that occurs in Bipolar-Junction-transistors in OC28 and OC35 can only handle the maximum current when the voltage is less than 5V.
A MOSFET does not suffer secondary breakdown and so can handle the both maximum current and voltage together very briefly.
The green push-button and the caliper battery tester was part of a children's electrical experimental kit.
The flawing in writing about electronics is that young people learn hands-on mostly. An adult can help by guiding the young person but even then in very small pieces. The kit had a bulb, bulb-holder, caliper style battery checker with a bulb, bell, buzzer and some wire.
Terminology
The electronics I discuss is mostly analogue electronics which is a key part of all physical electronics design.
I am an electronics design engineer but what I design or use are electronic. Engineers interpret wishes in to a practical solution and work together with scientists who propose ideal solutions.
Negative resistor;
This is a simple and probably a cheaper solution than using an IC with a similar function.
I have been designing and making things since before I went to school.
