My 7i43 survived having _all_ the pins on one connector shorted to
GND. It's distressingly easy to do if you crimp the ribbon cable a bit
wrong.

This can usually be done with a DVM with diode test. Connect the
meter between C and E, and then connect a resistor, like 22K Ohm
between base and the suspected collector. Note the meter reading.
If it is about 0

This one, according to the data sheet, is conventional, with the collector
on the middle pin.

Ok, I have 3 more BD140s to play with, so will try again tomorrow.

There is no way a base can go beyond around .6 volts if the transistor
is ok or it is connected correctly
shorting the base to ground will kill the transistor unless the psu is rubbish

> Measure the base voltage in the two states relative to +5
It changes from +5,07 VDC to 0,60 VDC. +5 actually are +5,17, so it
means that base voltage swings from -0,1 to -4,57V, relative to +5V.
But it does not work, even if I connect the base straight to GND,
which gav
a common mistake is to assume collector is the middle pin like the npn
but its the base

Hello, gentlemen!
I would appreciate, if someone could advice, what is wrong with my diy
relay driver.
I built it according to this scheme:
http://www.cutting.lv/fileadmin/user_upload/bd140_scheme.gif
Relay is PE014005:
