Notes to the Teacher

A quick recap of the Electronic Symbols, Terms and Abbreviations.

Operational definitions are often used in this module.
Remind the students that they have to be familiar with the different Electronic Symbols.

Always remind your students to never attempt to test a electronic component without the
consent of elders
Ask the students to be familiar with the electronic diagrams.

 Electronic Diagram

What is It

Circuit or Schematic Diagrams

The symbols represent the physical components of the schematic diagrams
while lines represent electrical conductors or wires. In order to learn how to read a
circuit diagram, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with schematic symbol of a
component. It is also important to understand how the components are connected
together in the circuit.

General Circuit Diagram Rules

1. Wires or lines in circuit diagrams — usually horizontal or vertical. Diagonal
line may be used which is placed at 45 degrees.
2. Component symbols — usually placed horizontally or vertically.
3. Circuit diagrams — drawn as simply and neatly as possible.
4. Lines connecting components — can be assumed of as shielded /insulated
wires with only the ends of the wires being bare conductors for electrical
connection.
5. When lines cross each other in a circuit diagram — they can be assumed of
as two shielded /insulated wires crossing, if there is no visible node where the
wires intersect or cross each other.
6. Three lines interconnecting at a point with a node at the intersection —
means that three wires are electrically connected.
7. Two wires that cross each other with a node at the interconnecting of the
crossing point means that the wires are electrically connected.

Remember:
Good schematics show you the circuit. Bad schematics make
you interpret them.

7
Connection
Circuit diagram is a illustrate a perfect world where wires and other conductors do not
interfere with each other. The connection can be a wire, a copper trace, a plug-socket
connection, a metal chassis, or anything that electricity will run through.
Lines represent connections. Schematics separate unconnected path and junctions
where line crossing designated a shared connection.
Example:

Connected

Not connected

Schematics uses special symbols to show connection to different types of power

and ground. They may be seen in multiple places on the schematics. Power connections
are commonly shown without any symbol, just a label showing the type of voltage, e.g.
v+, 5V,12V, 120VAC.

Components
Each electronic component is represented by a symbol. Lines used to connect the
symbols represent conductors or wires. Each symbol represents a physical component.
Example:

Component Resistor Capacitor Transistor Diode Chip Switch

Symbol

Prefix R C Q D IC S

Note: a formal schematics label the components with a prefix or parts designator
code that made up of letters and numbers (e.g. R1, IC1) depending on how many same
component available in a schematics.

R1
V
R3 R2

8
How to Read Circuit Diagrams
1. What are all those Symbols? You have to be familiar with Electronic Symbols but
don’t overwhelmed yourself. Electronic Symbols are easy to understand.
2. How each parts connected? physically parts are connected by wires, in the
diagrams you will see black lines going from one part to another. This means that you
connect them with a wire.
3. What about Polarity? some components on a circuit board are polarized, meaning
one side is positive and the other is negative. this means you have to attach it in a proper
way.

Tracing Schematics/Tracing Circuit Diagrams

Relating a circuit schematic diagram to its physical electronic layout. This is essential
skill when fault finding or troubleshooting .
To do this, you must be able to recognize components and read its values, you must
also know its circuit symbols which had discuss in the previous lesson.
Let’s begin with this simple component. (the Battery and the Bulb)

The Illustration below will show you a sample Circuit diagram of a bulb, where the bulb is
connected in battery/supply thru a wire

Physical Connection Circuit Diagram

9
• Schematic Diagram
It is the primary drawing of the electronics and communications in a circuit . It is
like a map of where to build and troubleshoot in a circuit. It is a diagram that shows the
functions and connection of a circuit by means of graphical symbols.

• Block Diagram
It is used to design new system or enhance existing ones. It is consist of single or
combination block.
Example of Block Diagram of an amplifier
VOLUME
PRE VOLTAGE
POWER
INPUT AMP CONTROL OUTPUT
AMP AMP

Block Diagram of FM Transmitter

Antenna
Audio Power
PRE AMP AM
Signal Modulator Amplifier

• Wire Diagrams
A graphical/visual representation of the physical connections and physical layout
of an electrical circuit. This shows how the electrical wires are connected. Wiring
diagrams also show where the wires should be located in the actual device, as well as
the physical connections between all the components.

How to Use a Wiring Diagram

Use wiring diagrams to show the components of the circuit as simplified shapes.
It is also useful in fault finding or trouble shooting when doing repairs

For example: Manong Juan, the electrician, wants to confirm the physical location
of the electrical component of a broken amplifier. When using a wiring diagram we can
avoid costly mistakes.

10
How is a Wiring Diagram Different from a Pictorial Diagram?
It is a wiring diagram that uses abstract or simplified shapes and lines to show
electrical components. Pictorial diagrams are often photos with labels or highly-
detailed drawings of the physical components.

Pictorial Wiring
Diagram Diagram

Standard Wiring Diagram Symbols

If a line touching another line has a black dot ( ), it means the lines are connect-
ed. When unconnected lines are shown crossing, you'll see a line hop ( ).

Most symbols used on a wiring diagram look like abstract versions of the real
objects they represent. For example, An antenna is a straight line with three
small lines branching off at its end, much like a real antenna.

In reading/making schematic diagram we have to consider the electronic compo-

nents to be used and its electromagnetic compatibility or its ground.

What is Electrical Grounding?

It can be classified as a connection, between an electrical circuit and earth or to
some conducting body that serves in place of earth. The most important reason of
electrical grounding is to protect your appliances, your home and everyone in it from the
surges of electricity. This means making objects neutral or uncharged. For example,
when lightning strikes or electricity surges it can energize electrical system and can
cause damage to your appliance.

GROUND
EARTH CHASIS SIGNAL

Purpose of Grounding or Earthing in Electronics

The primary purpose of grounding is to prevent shock hazard that exists in a
high-voltage distribution system in an component. Other functions include power fault
clear-out, protection against lightning and electrostatic discharge (ESD) hazards and
protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI).

11
 • Preventing shock hazard. Shock hazard exists when equipment enclosure/
chassis, by virtue of a fault or otherwise, is not connected to ground.
• Power fault clear-out. When the insulation or covering is damage due to aging or
environmental contaminants. Protection against lightning hazard. Grounding is
essential for draining severe lightning currents to ground, which can be
life-threatening and can also damage electronic components in an equipment.
• Electrostatic drainage. Proper grounding in equipment can bypass the path of
this discharge current, taking it away from sensitive components.
• EMI control. Grounding/earthing is necessary in EMI control. Shields need to be
connected to ground/earth as EMI currents induced in the shield need a path to
dissipate to ground.

What is the Difference between Earthing and Grounding?

• Earthing: is the process of protecting against unnecessary spikes of electricity that
can cause damage to life and property.

• Grounding: is similar to Earthing, by which protection against accidental currents is

achieved. The main live wire is connected to a power supply to power an appliance,
however, the other portion of the wire is led under the earth. This is done in case of
an accidental cut in the circuit, to avoid overloading and other dangerous side
effects.

The key difference between earthing and grounding is that, earthling is the
method used to protect human being from electric shock while grounding is the method
used to protect the entire power system from crashing.
