SUMMARY
hFE on a multimeter refers to the forward current gain of a bipolar junction transistor (BJT). This measurement is crucial for small signal analysis and is easily obtained using a dedicated socket on the multimeter. Understanding hFE is essential for analyzing transistor performance in hybrid models of two-port transistor circuits. It is one of the key parameters that influence the behavior of transistors in electronic applications.
