Electronic Components: LED A light-emitting diode (aka LED) is a semiconductor device that emits visible light when an electric current passes through it. Electronic Components: DC Motor A DC motor is any of a class of rotary electrical machines that converts direct current electrical energy into mechanical energy. The most common types rely on the forces produced by magnetic fields. Electronic Components: DC Motor Rotation of a DC Motor depends on how it’s connected to power. battery battery Electronic Components: Resistor A resistor is an electrical component that limits or regulates the flow of electrical current in an electronic circuit. Electronic Components: Button / Switch A push button is a momentary or non-latching switch which causes a temporary change in the state of an electrical circuit. A push to the switch allows electricity to flow between its two contacts when held in. When the button is released, the circuit is broken. Electronic Components: Breadboard A solderless breadboard is a board for making an experimental model of an electric circuit. Electronic Components: Battery An electric battery is a device consisting of one or more electrochemical cells with external connections provided to power electrical devices such as flashlights, smartphones, and electric cars. 3V Types of Circuits: Simple An electric circuit (aka simple circuit) is a path in which electrons from a voltage or current source flow. Types of Circuits: Series A series circuit is a closed circuit in which the current follows one path. The current through each load is the same and the total voltage across the circuit is the sum of the voltages across each load. Types of Circuits: Parallel A parallel circuit is a closed circuit in which the current divides into two or more paths before recombining to complete the circuit. Each load connected in a separate path receives the full circuit voltage, and the total circuit current is equal to the sum of the individual branch currents. 3V 3V 6V Switches In electrical engineering, a switch is an electrical component that can "make" or "break" an electrical circuit, interrupting the current or diverting it from one conductor to another.

Since time constants can be set by the ratio of capacitors, very accurate filter responses became possible using switched capacitor techniques Æ Mixed-Signal Design was born! Switched Capacitor Building Blocks • Capacitors: poly-poly, MiM, metal sandwich & finger caps • Switches: NMOS, PMOS, T-gate • Op Amps: at first all NMOS designs, now CMOS Non-Overlapping Clocks • Non-overlapping clocks are used to insure that one set of switches turns off before the next set turns on, so that charge only flows where intended. (“break before make”) • Note the notation used to indicate time based on clock periods: ... (n-1)T, (n-½)T, nT, (n+½)T, (n+1)T ..

  • Printed Circuit Board Mount Switches Shock Proof • Waterproof • Explosion
    shock proof • waterproof • explosion proof Printed Circuit Board Mount Switches These versatile switches are a great choice for many applications due to their small size and variety of connection styles. Although these switches are built to connect to a printed circuit board, they can also be retrotted for nearly any application by connecting wire leads. These switches can sense a pressure ranging from 6 inches of water all the way up to 65 PSI. For a frame of reference, a trumpet player blows 55 inches of water (or 2 PSI) on average, so these switches have a broad range. They can also be used to sense a vacuum ranging between 6 inches of water to 65 inches of water. Therefore, these miniature single pole and double pole switches are used as pressure, vacuum, or dierential pressure switches where moderate accuracy is sucient. Presair switches deliver critical benefits: CSPSSGA - PC Mount Switch SAFE: Presair switches deliver complete electrical isolation with zero voltage at the actuator to shock the user or spark an explosion. 1”x1”x1.5” ECONOMICAL:Presair’s switching system costs are comparable or lower than digital controls meeting the needs of original equipment manufacturers. ACCURATE: All switches are 100% tested to meet 100,000+ cycle life. General Specification: RATING: 1 amp resistive 250 VAC Ratings are dependent on actuation pressure and must be derated at lower pressures. APPROVAL: UL Recognized, CUL Recognized. File #E80254 MATERIAL: Lower body: Rynite w/ pin terminals molded Upper body: Acetal Diaphram material is dependent on application. PRESSURE RANGE: When used as a pressure or vacuum switch the actuation point must be factory set.

  • Introduction How Circuit Protection Devices Work?
    Introduction Adding extra strain to any person or object can be a recipe for disaster. This is especially the case for electrical circuits. When they’re tasked with carrying more current than they were designed to handle, the added burden can lead to detrimental and dangerous circumstances. Not only could overloading your circuits damage or destroy your sensitive electronic equipment, but it could also generate extra heat in wires that weren’t meant to carry the load. If this happens, it can cause a fire in a matter of seconds. This is where an overcurrent protection device, such as a fused disconnect switch or a circuit breaker, comes in. Though they serve a similar purpose, these two components each have a unique design. Today, we’re sharing how they work and how to choose the right one for your project. Ready to learn more? Let’s dive in. How Circuit Protection Devices Work? The field of circuit protection technology is vast, designed to prevent circuits from risks associated with overvoltage, overcurrent, reverse-bias, electrostatic-discharge (ESD) and overtemperature events. Such risks include: • High-voltage transients • Capacitive coupling • Inductive kickback • Ground faults • High inrush currents From your smartphone battery to your steering wheel, these components are necessary to ensure safe and reliable electronics. While they all serve a valuable purpose, we’re delving deeper today into the specific field of overcurrent protection. Overcurrent protection devices are designed to disconnect or open a circuit quickly in the event that an overload or short-circuit occurs. This helps to mitigate any damage to the connected equipment and can also reduce the risk of electrical fires.

  • Bipolar Junction Transistors (Bjts) and Unipolar Transistors (Fets)
    Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) and Unipolar Transistors (FETs) (Prepared by Ron, K8DMR, for series of GRARA meetings this year but now only posted on their website because of COVID -19 Pandemic ) including Junction FETs (JFETs) Metal-Semiconductor FETs (MESFETs) and Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor FETs (MOSFETs) INTRODUCTION • A bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is a type of transistor that uses both electrons and holes as charge carriers. • Current is produced both by electric field action on the carriers (drift current) and by thermal diffusion of carriers from regions of high concentration to regions of lower carrier concentration. • Which current predominates depends on the region (p or n type material), material thickness, n/p doping, applied electric field, etc. • BJTs use two p-n type material junctions. Unipolar transistors such as field effect transistors use only one type of charge carrier, electrons for N-channel FETs and holes for p channel FETs. FETs either use a single p-n junction (JFET), a single metal- semiconductor junction (MESFET) or no junction at all (MOSFET). In the MOSFET case the carrier flow is controlled by a metallic plate separated from the semiconductor by an insulation layer, typically SiO2. Let’s consider the Bipolar Junction Transistor first. PNP and NPN BJT Circuit Symbols Showing Positive Current Directions and Positive Voltmeter Leads Electron and Hole flow in an NPN BJT in Active Mode OPERATING REGIONS IN AN NPN BJT Rc is the assumed collector load resistance Note that a BJT is a current controlled current source. Saturation Mode, Cutoff Mode, Active Mode • Saturation mode and cutoff mode are the two BJT modes most used in digital circuits.

In order to ensure a long lifespan, the FSW Fuse-Switch-Disconnectors are manufactured with reinforced thermoplastic materials and flame retardant. Additionaly, they feature contacts with silver coating, providing low power losses. Safety and Simplicity WEG switch-disconnector has several characteristics which aim at increasing security for operation and maintenance of the equipment, simplifying diagnoses and fuse replacement: g The switch-disconnector allows checking the state of the fuses through a transparent cover, besides featuring small openings which allow making electrical measurements without interrupting the operation. g As per IEC 60947-3, the switch-disconnector can perform the non- frequent opening under load. The FSW series has arc chambers for the extinction of the electric arc and disconnects all the phases together, ensuring full insulation between the load circuit and power supply. g In the opening of the switch-disconnector, the fuses remain fixed to the cover, preventing their drop or accidental contact between the energized parts. Furthermore, the cover is totally removable, allowing simple fuse replacement in a simple and safe area out of the electrical panel. g The switch-disconnectors also feature a built-in auxiliary contact in order to indicate when they are open or not properly closed.
