Planning to replace Components now in ComponentsOld
Individual Components and there Uses[edit]
Note that components are sometimes characterized by their electrical characteristics ( resistor, capacitor... ) and sometimes by there use ( sensor ). This can mean that a component is listed twice, for example a temperature sensing resistor is both a resistor and a sensor. We are listing in alphabetic order, but remember components may have various names.
Batteries[edit]
Power Up.
Capacitors[edit]
Store charge and energy, block dc, filter. In there simplest form passive components, but now some are IC using switched capacitors to synthesize other and variable values.
Connectors[edit]
Join parts.
demo board[edit]
Lots of people put a microprocessor and most of the other essential stuff on a tiny little demo board, easy to plug into your solderless breadboard (or your custom PCB) that has just a few more things that make your project special.
Enclosures[edit]
Cover up.
Other Integrated Circuits [edit]
Op Amps, Voltage Regulators, Drivers, Digitally Programmable Potentiometers, 555 Timers ... For motor drivers see Motors below. Lots of parts in a package to do something useful.
Optoelectronics[edit]
LEDs, photodiodes, optoisolators, LCDs, IR proximity detectors,...
Oscillator[edit]
Crystals, Ceramic Resonators, oscillators, ... Vibrate with excitement.
Other Passives[edit]
including Inductors and Transformers
Microcontrollers[edit]
Little Computers for your entertainment.
Resistors[edit]
and Potentiometers Resistance is not futile. In there simplest form passive components, but now some are IC using forming variable resistors and potentiometers.
Transistors, Diodes, etc.[edit]
Diodes, Transistors are described here. These guys are the basic semiconductors or solid state electronics. ( But not Light Emitting Diodes = LED or Photo Diodes which are listed under Optoelectronics. )
Sensors[edit]
Accelerometers, Gyroscopes, Temperature Sensors, Pressure Sensors, ... Find out what is going on.
Switches and Relays[edit]
Turn things on and off.
Motors[edit]
Make thing move. We include some circuits/chips for driving motors. Servos, steppers, and others.
Modules[edit]
GPS, Mobile Phone, RF Transceiver, Bluetooth Modules, ...
Popular Parts[edit]
So many parts to pick, but which ones? Why not pick a popular part, or a group of parts for areas of interest?
Where to Components Come From[edit]
Component Manufacturers[edit]
Links to homepages, phone numbers, contact info, ... There is often info under each component as well in the components sections above.
Free From Salvage[edit]
Dig in, to the free stuff, a list of links and a bunch of ideas on how to use your loot.
Free Samples[edit]
Free is nice.
PCB Manufacturers[edit]
contact info, PCB trace width/spacing capability, ...
Salvage Ideas[edit]
Unusual ideas for the fruits of your labor.
Suppliers[edit]
Good places to buy, numbers to call, people to talk to, ... Get your low cost motor controller boards & motor driver ICs
How to Store Components[edit]
Data Sheets[edit]
You will want data sheets for you parts. Do not leave home, or start a project without them. Check:
- original manufacturer
- parts distributor
- http://www.datasheetcatalog.com/
Links[edit]
- Electronic component From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Basic Components Quite a few components and some info on use.
- Electronic Components
