Hi Tim , I had that with a Chinese component analyzer with some 2N1516 and it was Tin wiskers . Once removed with a 15v psu it tested ok .

My Peak DCA55 often misidentifies some Germanium transistors as BiColor LEDs. In particular those such as 2N2209 with TO7 bases. (e-b-Case-c; the Case lead has been clipped). Is this possibly Tin-Whisker or something about the DCA55? My Chinese component analyser just says 'unknown component' (I'm going through my collection of 1S1s and 3T77s) Tim -- "Success is a collection of well-curated failures"
