electrical cable A flexible conducting wire to carry electrical power or signals, usually covered with an insulating material. electrical code A set of regulations for the use of electricity; they may vary from municipal to international in scope. electrical conductivity A measure of a substance's ability to pass an electric current. electrical ...
Its reciprocal quantity is electrical conductance, measuring the ease with which an electric current passes. Electrical resistance shares some conceptual parallels with mechanical friction. The SI unit of electrical resistance is the ohm , while electrical conductance is measured in siemens (S) (formerly called the 'mho' and then represented by
IEEE 200-1975 or "Standard Reference Designations for Electrical and Electronics Parts and Equipments" is a standard that was used to define referencing naming systems for collections of electronic equipment. IEEE 200 was ratified in 1975. The IEEE renewed the standard in the 1990s, but withdrew it from active support shortly thereafter.
Surface-mount technology was developed in the 1960s. By 1986 surface mounted components accounted for 10% of the market at most, but was rapidly gaining popularity. [4] By the late 1990s, the great majority of high-tech electronic printed circuit assemblies were dominated by surface mount devices.
Electronic color code – color-code used to indicate the values of axial electronic components, such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes (also see IEC 60062). Geometric progression; Preferred number; Renard series – used for current rating of electric fuses
Some terms in the electronics industry used to describe certain types of potentiometers are: Pot: abbreviation for potentiometer.; Slide pot or slider pot: a potentiometer that is adjusted by sliding the wiper left or right (or up and down, depending on the installation), usually with a finger or thumb
Three photoresistors with scale in mm Large CdS photocell from a street light. A photoresistor is less light-sensitive than a photodiode or a phototransistor.The latter two components are true semiconductor devices, while a photoresistor is a passive component that does not have a PN-junction.
At the two ends of the bus, resistors connect between the positive (high) and negative (low) signal wires either in internally terminated bus couplers or external connectorized terminators. The MIL-STD-1553B bus must be terminated at both ends to minimize the effects of signal reflections that can cause waveform distortion and disruption or ...
