TERMINAL LUGA device attached to a conductor to permit connection to a terminal [4]. | ||
TEST EQUIPMENTA general term applied to devices used to test electrical and electronic circuits [3]. | ||
TEST POINTSLocations in equipment that are accessible to the technician's test probes where operating voltages or signals can be monitored [16]. | ||
TETRODE TUBEA four-electrode electron tube containing a plate, a cathode, a control grid, and a screen grid [6]. | ||
THERMAL INERTIAThe capacity of a soldering iron to generate and maintain a satisfactory soldering temperature while giving up heat to the material being soldered [4]. | ||
THERMAL RUNAWAYA conduction that exists when heat causes more electron-hole pairs to be generated, which, in turn, causes more heat and which may eventually cause diode destruction [7]. | ||
THERMAL TRIP ELEMENTA circuit breaker trip element that uses the increased bending of a bimetallic strip caused by increased current to open a circuit [3]. | ||
THERMAL-MAGNETIC TRIP ELEMENTA single circuit breaker trip element that combines the action of a thermal and a magnetic trip element [3]. | ||
THERMIONIC EMISSIONEmission of electrons from a solid body as a result of elevated temperature [6]. | ||
