Individual Components and there Uses
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
Power Up.
Capacitors
Connectors
demo board
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
Cover up.
Other Integrated Circuits
Op Amps, Voltage Regulators, Drivers, Digitally Programmable Potentiometers, 555 Timers ... For motor drivers see Motors below.
Optoelectronics
LEDs, photodiodes, optoisolators, LCDs, IR proximity detectors,...
Oscillator
Crystals, Ceramic Resonators, oscillators, ...
Other Passives
including Inductors and Transformers
Microcontrollers
Little Computers for your entertainment.
Resistors
and Potentiometers ( both considered passive components )
Transistors, Diodes, etc.
Diodes, Transistors are described here. ( But not Light Emitting Diodes = LED or Photo Diodes which are listed under Optoelectronics. )
Sensors
Accelerometers, Gyroscopes, Temperature Sensors, Pressure Sensors, ...
Switches and Relays
Turn things on and off.
Motors
Make thing move. We include some circuits/chips for driving motors
Modules
GPS, Mobile Phone, RF Transceiver, Bluetooth Modules, ...
Popular Parts
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
Component Manufacturers
Links to homepages, phone numbers, contact info, ... There is often info under each component as well in the components sections above.
Free From Salvage
Dig in, to the free stuff, a list of links and a bunch of ideas on how to use your loot.
Free Samples
Free is nice.
PCB Manufacturers
contact info, PCB trace width/spacing capability, ...
Salvage Ideas
Unusual ideas for the fruits of your labor.
Suppliers
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
General Links
Data Sheets
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
Basic Components Quite a few components and some info on use.
