Abstract
A method of measuring the thermal resistance of transistors using the collector cutoff current as an indicator is described. The author uses a series of two steps to determine the overall junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. This type of arrangement is most accurate and less time consuming than the one-step over-all junction-to-ambient measurement.
