T

TERMINAL LUG

A device attached to a conductor to permit connection to a terminal [4].

TEST EQUIPMENT

A general term applied to devices used to test electrical and electronic circuits [3].

TEST EQUIPMENT INDEX

The Navy guide used to assist in identifying portable electrical/ electronic
test equipment required for support of prime electrical/electronic, IC, weapons, and reactor instrumentation systems [16].


TEST POINTS

Locations in equipment that are accessible to the technician's test probes where operating voltages or signals can be monitored [16].


TETRODE TUBE

A four-electrode electron tube containing a plate, a cathode, a control grid, and a screen grid [6].


THERMAL INERTIA

The capacity of a soldering iron to generate and maintain a satisfactory soldering temperature while giving up heat to the material being soldered [4].


THERMAL RUNAWAY

A 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 ELEMENT

A 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 ELEMENT

A single circuit breaker trip element that combines the action of a thermal and a magnetic trip element [3].


THERMIONIC EMISSION

Emission of electrons from a solid body as a result of elevated temperature [6].
