POWER SOURCES

Lucidchart provides you with accurate symbols for alternating and direct currents.
Our easy-to-use dialogs let you switch the direction of the positive and negative
charge icons, as well as the orientation and the voltage label. You can also make
your circuit diagram stand out by adding a fill color with just one click.

TRANSISTORS
To beginners, the names of transistors can resemble alphabet soup. Lucidchart
provides schematics for three major transistor types: bipolar junction transistors
(BJT), junction gate field-effect transistors (JFET), and metal oxide semiconductor
field-effect transistors (MOSFET). Each type has its unique advantages and
drawbacks. BJTs have high transconductance, whereas MOSFETs excel at low
voltages. A useful mnemonic device for remembering which transistors are PNP
(positive-negative-positive) and which are NPN (negative-positive-negative) is not
pointing in for NPN and pointing in proudly for PNP.

RELAYS
Relays form switches in your electrical circuit. Our relays are labeled for easy
comprehension. They include both the full name, e.g. Single Pole Single Throw, and
its abbreviationin this case, SPST. You can easily rotate a relay, or any other icon in
Lucidchart, to fit the parameters of your circuit diagram.

LOGIC GATES
Logic gates perform logical functions (i.e. and, not and, or exclusive or) on one
or more inputs to create a single output. Lucidchart has international-style logic gate
icons, including an inverter. You can also choose from several types of flip-flops.

VOLTMETERS, CHARGE SYMBOLS, WAVES, AND

MORE
Our Miscellaneous library gives you even more options for customization. If you ever
made a potato-powered battery for an elementary school science fair, youre familiar
with voltmeters. You can also drag and drop an ammeter, an inverter contact, and an
electrical charge symbol onto your canvas.
