Capacitors
• A capacitor is an electronic component that can be
used to store an electrical charge.
• Capacitors are often used in electronic circuits as
temporary energy-storage devices.
• Capacitance is measured in units of farads (F) and
named after Michael Faraday, a British chemist and
physicist who contributed significantly to the study of
electromagnetism.

Diodes
Diodes are semiconductor devices, but are considered
passive since they do not contribute any amplification or
gain to a circuit.

Types of Diodes
The semiconductor diode is very versatile. The many different types enable a
variety of applications. These applications include small signal applications, high
current, high voltage, different types of diodes for light emission and detection,
fairly low forward voltage drops, and diodes to provide variable capacitance.

Diodes: characteristics and parameters
Forward voltage drop (Vf)- An electronics device passing current will
develop a voltage across it called the forward voltage drop.
Peak Inverse Voltage (PIV) - This diode characteristic is the maximum
voltage a diode can withstand in the reverse direction.
Maximum forward current(IF) - When designing a circuit that passes any
levels of current it is necessary to ensure that the maximum current
levels for the diode are not exceeded.
Leakage current (IR) - If a perfect diode were available, then no current
would flow when it was reverse biased. It is found that for a real PN
junction diode, a very small amount of current flow in the reverse
direction as a result of the minority carriers in the semiconductor. The
level of leakage current is dependent on a number of factors. The
reverse voltage is one, but also temperature. Leakage current can rise
appreciably with temperature.

Resistors
• A resistor is an electronic component that
resists the flow of electrical current.
• A resistor is typically used to control the
amount of current that is flowing in a circuit.
• Resistance is measured in units of ohms ()
and named after George Ohm, whose law
(Ohm’s Law) defines the fundamental
relationship between voltage, current, and
resistance.

Determining A Resistor’s Value
Color Code
• Resistors are labeled
with color bands that
specify the resistor’s
nominal value.
• The nominal value is
the resistor’s face
value.
Measured Value
• A digital multi-meter
can be used to
measure the resistor’s
actual resistance
value.

Values specified in henries (H), millihenries (mH) and
microhenries (μH)
A coil of wire that may be wound on a core of air or other
non-magnetic material, or on a magnetic core such as iron
powder or ferrite.
Two coils magnetically coupled form a transformer.
Wire gauge and physical size of the coil determine the
current handling capacity.

Transistors
A transistor is a component that has three pins. The type of the transistor
can be determined by the model number, which is printed on the body.

Transistor specifications
There are a number of standard parameters that are used to define the
performance of a transistor:
Type
number
Case
Material
Polarity
The type number of the device is an individual part number given to the device.
Device numbers normally conform to the JEDEC (American) or Pro-Electron
(European) numbering systems - see Related Articles under main left hand menu
block. There is also a Japanese standard system for transistor numbering.
Case style - a variety of case standard case styles are available. These normally
are of the form TOxx leaded devices and SOTxxx for surface mount devices. Note
it is also important to check the pin connections as they are not always
standard. Some transistor types may have their connections in the format EBC
whereas occasionally they can be ECB, and this can cause confusion in some
cases.
The material used for the device is important as it affects the junction forward
bias and other characteristics. The most common materials used for bipolar
transistors are silicon and germanium.
The polarity of the device is important. It defines the polarity of the biasing and
operation of the device. The two types are NPN and PNP. NPN is most common.
It has higher speeds as electrons are the majority carriers and these have a
greater mobility than holes. When run in common emitter configurations, the
NPN circuits will use a positive rail voltage and negative common line, PNP
transistors will require a negative rail and positive common voltage.

include a series resistor of high value to avoid
any shock hazard.
