Learning Objectives: After reading this information sheet YOU should be

able to
1. Identify the types of different alphabet of lines;
2. Identify the descriptions and each applications
When you purchase a brand new appliance or equipment, it is very

important that a diagram is included with the product to insure that there
will be a reference material. in case the appliance or equipment becomes
defective. Shown in Fig. 1-1a is the schematic diagram of a 1-watt stereo
audio amplifier, while Fig. 1-1b is its pictorial diagram.

To produce a quality and marketable electronic diagram, you have to

follow the Electronic Drafting Standards which is the process of illustrating
various kinds of circuits and wiring systems. The most common graphical
languages used in the illustration of components in circuits and wiring
systems are block, schematic, wiring, and pictorial diagrams.
Date Developed:
August 2019
Most symbols that you will encounter in laying out electronic
diagrams are accepted as standard, but in some cases some manufacturers
modify symbols and practices to suit a particular industrial policy while
others use their own symbols to represent unique or special component and
devices.
Electronic symbols and their use in conjunction with recommended

drafting practices have been developed through the years, and have been
standardized by a number of different organizations? Among these are the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the Electronics Industries
Association (IEA), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE), and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
Schematic Symbols of Electronic Components
Some of the electronic symbols that were mentioned earlier are shown
in Fig. 1-2. You can use several electronic templates shown in Fig. 1-3 to
help you in drawing these symbols.

Drawing instruments and their uses
Drawing instruments are used in preparing accurate drawings.
Quality drawing instruments can produce accurate and good and
presentable drawings. Below is a list of some of the most common used
drawing instruments and materials in electronic drafting.
1. Drawing board. A smooth board usually rectangular in shape provided

with perfectly straight edge which is used as
Date Developed:
August 2019
2. T-square. A T-square consists of two parts namely the stock and the
blade joined together at right angles to each other by means of screws. The
stock is made to slide along the working edge and the blade moves on the
drawing
board. The working edge of a T-square is used to draw parallel lines,

vertical lines or inclined lines at 30 or 60 degrees.
3. Drafting machine or drafter. In a drafting machine, the uses and

advantages of T-squares, scales, set squares, and protractors are combined.
One end of the drafter is clamped at the left top end of the drawing board by
a screw provided in the drafter.
Date Developed:
August 2019
Set squares. Set squares are generally made from plastic material.
They are triangular in shape with one corner, a triangle. A pair of set
squares (30o- 60o) and 45o. They are used to draw lines at 30o, 60o and
45o to the vertical or horizontal
5. Protractor. Protractors are used to mark or measure angles between 0and

180o. They are semicircular in shape and are made of plastic. Protractors
with circular shape are capable of marking and measuring 0 to 360 o are
also available in the market.
6. Drawing pencils. The accuracy and appearance of a drawing depends on

the quality of pencil used to make drawing. The grade of a pencil lead is
marked on the pencil. HB denotes medium grade. Increase in hardness is
shown by the value put in front of H such as 2H, 3H, etc. Softer pencils are
marked as 2B, 3B, and 4B etc. A pencil marked 3B is softer than 2B and
Date Developed:
August 2019
pencil marked 4B is softer than 3B and so on. Beginning of a drawing may
be made with H or 2H. For lettering and dimensioning, H or HB pencils are
used.
7. Compass. Compass is used for drawing circles and arcs of circles. The
compass has two legs hinged at one end. One of the legs has pointed needle
fitted at the lower end where as the other end has provision for inserting
pencil lead.
Date Developed:
August 2019
8. Drawing pins and clips. These are used to fix the drawing sheet on the
drawing board.
9. Electronic templates include symbols for electronic and electrical design

that can be traced using a drawing pencil.
Lines in technical drawings are part of a specialized graphic language that

is standardized throughout industry.
Each type of line has a very precise symbolic meaning. Correct usage of this
"alphabet of lines" is essential whether you use traditional drafting methods
or CAD.
Line weight is the thickness of the line.
Date Developed:
August 2019
Construction lines and guide lines are very light, easily erased lines used
to block in the main layout.
Visible lines are the edges or "outlines" of an object. They are drawn as
solid lines with a thick/heavy weight. All other lines contrast with the visible
lines by having either a thinner weight and/or a combination of dashes.

ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION
Learning Objective: After reading this information sheet YOU should be

able to.
1. Identify the three main views of the given object; and,
2. Draw the necessary orthographic views of the given object to show its
exact shape.
A. Orthographic Projection
Date Developed:
August 2019
An orthographic projection is a representation of separate views of an object
on a two- dimensional surface. It reveals the width, depth and height of the
object.
Ortho means “straight or at right angle” and graphic means “written or
drawn”. Projection comes from two Latin words: “pro,” meaning “forward,”
and “jacere,” meaning “to throw.”
The projection is achieved by viewing the object from a point
assumed to be at infinity (an indefinitely great distance away). The line of
sight orprojectors are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the plane
of projection.
Figure1. Visualizing one view of

an orthographic projection

INFORMATION SHEET 4.2-1
ELECTRONIC COMPONETNTS
Resistor
A resistor is a device with a known value of resistance. Its main
function is to reduce voltage and to limit the flow of current in a circuit. This
resistance is actually the opposition that a component or material offers to
the flow of current. Resistance may or may not be useful in circuit/s. When
Date Developed:
August 2019
too much current passes through a conductor, (solid, liquid, gas through
which electrons pass easily) the resistance of the conductor may cause it to
become hot. This, in turn, can create a fire hazard or cause the conductor to
burn out. In this case, it is not desirable. In other cases, when it is placed
intentionally in the circuit, it performs its specific task.
Symbol of Resistor
Fixed
Variable
Fixed Resistors
It is a single value resistance, which remains the same under the
normal condition. The two common kinds of fixed resistors are carbon
resistor and film-type resistor.
Carbon resistor Film resistor

Variable Resistor
Variable resistors are used when it is necessary to change the amount
of resistance in a circuit. There are two common variable resistors, the
potentiometer and rheostat. Generally a potentiometer is generally has
carbon resistive element while the rheostat is generally made of resistance
wire.
Date Developed:
August 2019
Potentiometer Rheostat
Both devices have a sliding arm that brings into contact with the
resistance element. In most variable resistors the arm is attached to the
shaft that can be adjusted Element changes.
A potentiometer is commonly used as control device. It can be used to

vary the value of voltage applied to a certain circuit such as in the amplifier,
television, and different kinds of meter circuit.
Date Developed:
August 2019
Resistor Power Rating
Power rating of resistors changes with their sizes, the bigger the
resistor the greater the wattages and the smaller the resistor the lesser the
wattage. Different sizes of resistors are shown below which are drawn to the
exact proportion.
5 watts 2 watts
1 watts
½ watts
¼ watts

A capacitor is a device that consists essentially of two conducting

surfaces separated by a dielectric material like air, paper, mica, ceramic,
glass, or Mylar. It makes it possible to store electric energy. Electrons are
detained within a capacitor. This, in effect, is stored electricity. It is known
Date Developed:
August 2019
as electrical potential or an electrostatic field. Electrostatic field hold
electrons. When the increase of electrons becomes great enough, the
electrical potentials are now ready to be discharged. The component is
designed intentionally to have a definite amount of capacitance. This
capacitance is a property that exists whenever insulating material permits
the storage of electricity. It is measured in Farad (F) micro Farad (μF), nano
Farad (nF), and picoFarad (pF).
Characteristics of Capacitor:
1. It can store electric charge even though the voltage source is already is
connected.
2. It can discharge electrical voltages.

INFORMATION SHEET 4.2_2

All electronic circuits from the simplest to the most complex design
need diagrams to be used as reference in designing, modifying, and
troubleshooting the circuit. The most common used electronic diagrams are
schematic, pictorial, wiring, and block diagrams. Each one of these
diagrams has its own unique characteristics in presenting the circuit. The
different diagrams that you should be familiar with are the following:
Pictorial diagram - It shows the pictures of the actual components and

wiring connections although it does not provide the exact size of
components. It shows exact shape in proportion to the actual component or
device.
Date Developed:
August 2019
Pictorial Diagram of a Regulated Power Supply
Block Diagram – This form usually uses block of squares, rectangles or

triangles to represent components, group of components or units of
equivalent. Block diagrams are particularly used to represent internal
components of an integrated circuit.

Transformer Filters filter
Block Diagram of a Regulated Power Supply
Schematic diagram - It shows the components used in their

interconnection. Each graphic symbol is also accompanied with a reference
designation to distinguish it from other similar symbols. It does not
illustrate the physical size, shape or chassis location of the component parts
and devices.

PREPARE/MAKE CHANGES TO ELECTRICAL/ ELECTRONIC
SCHEMATICS AND DRAWINGS
One of the features of a quality electronic diagram is its appearance

with simplicity in design and easy-to-understand layout. To achieve this,
you have to follow the following standards in laying out electronic diagrams.
Rules for Drawing Symbols

Recommended practices to be used in the application of symbols to a
circuit diagram are listed below.
1. The position of a symbol on a diagram does not affect its meaning.
2. The weight of a line used in drawing a symbol does not affect its
meaning. In some cases, a heavier line may be used to emphasize a
particular symbol.
3. A given symbol may be drawn in any size that is suitable for use in any
particular diagram. However, when a symbol is enlarged or reduced in
size, it should be drawn in proportion to the rest of the drawing.
4. If necessary for contrast, some symbols may be drawn smaller or larger
than other symbols on a diagram. However, for simplicity, it is
recommended that not more than two different sizes of symbols be
used on any one diagram.
5. In general, a connecting line should be brought to a symbol either
vertically or horizontally, but a connecting line brought to a symbol at
an angle has no particular significance unless otherwise noted.
6. The arrowhead of a symbol may be open ( ) or closed ( ) unless
otherwise noted.
7. The standard symbol for terminal (o) may be added to any symbol. But
when this is done, the terminal symbol should not be considered a part
of the symbol itself.
Date Developed:
August 2019
Reference Designations
The symbols used to represent various components on a circuit
diagram are most often accompanied by a combination of letters that
identify the components but are not themselves a part of the symbol (Table
3-1).
Table 3-1. Reference Designations of Electronic Components

Components Class Designation Letter(s)
Capacitor C
Diode D
Resistor R
Switch S or SW
Transformer T
Transistor Q or TR
When more than one symbol of a specific type of component appears

on a diagram, the letter (or letters) is followed by numbers that identify the
components. These combinations of letters and numbers are referred to as
reference designations (Fig. 3-1).

August 2019
When details of the type, rating; or value of a particular component
are to be given on a diagram, this information is placed adjacent to the
symbol or is given by means of notes accompanying the diagram. For
example, resistance and capacitance values are indicated nas shown in Fig.
1-3. In this scheme, the symbol Ω for ohms and the abbreviations μF and pF
for capacitance values are usually omitted and are instead replaced by notes
such as the following:
1. All resistors expressed in ohms unless otherwise indicated.
2. All capacitors expressed in microfarads unless otherwise indicated.
A resistance value of 1,000 ohms or more is most often expressed in

terms of Kilohm (K) or Megaohm (M) units. Thus a resistance of 4,700 ohms
is written as 4.7K, while a resistance of 270,000 ohms may be written as
270K or as 0.27M. The comma used when writing a 4-digit number such as
4,700 is not used when such a number is given on a diagram.
Capacitance values of 1 through 9,999 picofarads are usually

expressed in picofarad units. Capacitance values greater than 10,000
picofarads should be expressed in microfarad units.
Suffix Letters
Suffix letters are used to identify separate parts of a unit upon a
diagram when such components appear as a single, enclosed unit as shown
in Fig. 3-2. C1A and C1B are the suffix letters used in the diagram.
Fig. 3-2. Two capacitors

are enclosed in one unit.
Layout
Date Developed:
August 2019
The layout or form of a diagram should show the main features
prominently. The parts of a diagram should be carefully spaced to provide
an even balance between blank spaces and lines. Enough blank space
should be left in the areas near symbols to avoid crowding any necessary
notes or reference information (Fig. 3-3).

Line Thickness
As with other types of diagrams, a schedule of line weights or line
conventions is used in drawing electrical and electronics diagrams. The
standard line conventions used in the preparation of these diagrams are
shown in Table 3-2.

For emphasis Thick
Connecting Lines
Lines connecting symbols and other parts on a diagram should,
whenever possible, be drawn either horizontally or vertically. As a general
Date Developed:
August 2019
rule, no more than three lines should be drawn to any point on a circuit
diagram (Fig. 3-4A). This procedure reduces the possibility of line crowding
that could make the interpretation of a diagram more difficult than
necessary.
Recommended
Fig. 3-4. Connecting lines. (A) recommended and undesirable methods
of drawing lines to a point upon a diagram, (B) two “groups” of connecting
lines drawn parallel to each other.
When connecting lines are drawn parallel to each other, the space between
them should be at least 1/16 inch when the diagram is reduced to a final
size.
Interrupted Lines
Connecting lines whether single or in groups, may be interrupted
when a diagram does not provide for a continuation of these lines to their
final destination. When a single line is interrupted, the line identification
can also indicate the destination (Fig. 3-5A). When groups of lines are
interrupted, the destination of the lines is usually given in conjunction with
brackets (Fig. 3-5B). In all cases, the lines should be located as close as
possible to the point of interruption.

Dashed Lines
Dashed lines (------) are used on schematic and other types of
diagrams to show a mechanical linkage between components or parts of
components (Fig. 3-6).

pole, 3-position selector switch.
