Resistors and capacitors
Electronic Components
Resistor
Limits the flow of current
Variable resistor
Adjustable resistor
SMT resistor
Resistor that is soldered to tabs on the surface of a pcb
Capacitor
Stores charge, acts as a voltage store, used in timers
Diode
One way valve for current
LED
Lights when a small current flows, uses less power than a bulb
Dual in line IC
Standard chip package
Transistor (npn only)
Used to control current – current amplifier
Push to make switch
Connection only when switch is pressed
Push to break
Connection only when switch is NOT pressed
