 What is It
CHECK RECEIVED MATERIALS OR COMPONENT PARTS

Hello there! This time you are going to have a deeper understanding of
the basic electronic components. Make sure to read and understand the
information presented below and on the next pages
An electronic circuit comprises various types of components, which are
classified into two types: active components like transistors, diodes, IC’s; and
passive components like capacitors, resistors, fuses, and others. There are
numerous standard electronic components that you can use for creating
electronic projects. Without these components, your project will never be
completed or won’t function well.
Usually, these components consist of two or more terminal leads which
serve as the input or output portion when it is soldered in the printed circuit
board (PCB). Some components are fabricated in a well-packaged type in
which the different components are integrated into a single-chip like
integrated circuits or IC. To get depth information about basic components,
here is a brief overview of each of these basic electronic components.

Electronic Descriptions

Component
A resistor is a two-terminal passive
electronic component that can oppose,
Resistor reduce, or limit the flow of current.
Its value is expressed in ohms
represented by the OMEGA symbol(Ω).
Example: 100 Ohms (Ω)
1000Ω

A capacitor is an electronic device that

stores electric charges. It blocks the
DC signals and allows the AC signals
It is made up of two thin metal sheets
or plates separated with an insulator
called DIELECTRIC.
Capacitor
The value of the capacitor is
expressed in farad.

 A transistor is a three-terminal
semiconductor device. It is Mostly used
as a switching device for electronic
signals and signal amplifiers. It also
Transistor regulates current and voltage flow. A
transistor is consists of three layers
of semiconductor material; the positive
and negative junctions capable of
carrying a current. These can be PNP
and NPN transistors.

A diode is a semiconductor device that

allows the current to flow in only one
direction. It has two terminals, the side
with the white mark is a cathode and
Diode the opposite side is the anode terminal.
One of the applications of a diode is
converting alternating current AC into
direct current DC.

An integrated circuit or IC is a special

component that is made up of
hundreds of tiny components in a
single silicon package. It consists of
passive components like resistor
capacitor and active components like
Integrated transistors and diodes and other
Circuit electronic components. These are
or IC usually the building block of gadgets
nowadays, cellphones, iPods, tablets,
computers, and many more. An IC can
save space when attached to the circuit
board.

Generally, a fuse is one of the most

important devices or components. It is
an electrical/ electronic safety device
that protects against overcurrent and
Fuse short circuit protection. Once trouble
occurs in a circuit fuse will be blown out
and disallowing the current to pass
through the entire circuit. A burned-out
fuse which is commonly called a blown
fuse must be replaced for the circuit to
function. Its essential part is the single
strip or strand of wire inside a cylindrical
tube that opens or melts when
overcurrent flows through it.

 A wire is a very essential material in
electronics. It is widely used to connect
or link two or more circuits or extend
their length. It may vary in size and

wire One of the significant roles of this wire
is during experimentation when
another component is not permanently
soldered in the circuit board.
Connecting wire or hook-up wire can
be stranded or solid wire.

Consideration in Selecting Materials and Components

In buying electronic components, you need to select the components

that make up your project and you must pay attention to the right component
to use. Finding a trusted and reliable source should come first. Here are
common considerations when selecting material or components.

Common Description

selecting; materials or components because this
serves as proof of the durability of the designed

can use the product for a long period.

The cost of material or component depends on

its quality. Keep in mind that the price should
always tie up in the component’s performance.
2. Price There is always a need to balance the rate of an
item and its performance since it is impractical
that the component is expensive while it
performs under the prescribed specifications

Faults and Defect Identification

Buying new things is not a guarantee that all items are in good and
quality condition, thus, close inspection is highly needed to assure if it is
functioning or not. Factory defects are classified into three categories: Minor,
Major, and Critical defects.

a. Minor defects-. These defects usually small issue which has

no direct effect on the operation or performance of the
component. Oftentimes, these defects are not easily
noticeable. Some examples are dented surfaces, uneven color,
scratches, deformity of items. These might be small issues,
but still, be careful in purchasing an item

8
b. Major defects- this type of defect can easily be seen due to it
adversely affect the function, performance, or appearance of a
product. Examples are missing parts, broken, heat
dissipation, etc.

c. Critical defects- This is the most serious among the types of

defects. It shows that the materials or component is totally
and completely non-functional or malfunction causing to
double the cost of materials.
