What are Passive Electronic Components?
Passive Electronic components are those that
don’t have the ability to control electric current by
means of another electrical signal. Examples of
passive electronic components are capacitors,
resistors, inductors, transformers, and some
diodes. These can be either Thru-Hole of SMD
Components.
Circuit Symbols of Active and Passive
Electronic Components
Electronic components, both active and passive,
are lifeline of any Printed Circuit Board assembly.
They both play vital roles in the functioning of any
electronic device. Electronic components are
intended to be connected together, usually by
soldering to a printed circuit board (PCB), to
create an electronic circuit with a particular
function.
Dynamic Testing
• Electronic test plays a wide range of
performance demands on test equipment for
static and dynamic test equipment test
equipment. The equipment is used to validate
new designs, improve manufacturing processes
and prove the quality and end products.
Mechanical testing requirements involve static,
dynamic and fatigue testing in tensile,
compression, shear test modes.
• Testing mechanical endurance and
integrity of electronics components and
assemblies is important to validate designs,
improve manufacturing, and ensure the reliability
of final products.
In-Circuit Testing
In circuit test equipment provides a useful and
efficient form of printed circuit board test by
measuring each component in turn to check that
it is in the place and of the correct value. As most
faults on a board arise out of the manufacturing
process and usually consist of short circuits, open
circuits or wrong components, this form of testing
catches most of the problems on the board. These
can easily be checked using simple measurements

or resistance, capacitance, and sometimes
inductance between two points on the circuit
board.
In-Circuit test equipment consists of a number of
elements
A. In circuit tester: – The circuit test
system consists of a matrix of drivers and sensors
that are used to set up and perform the
measurements. There may be 1000 or more of
these driver sensor points. These are normally
taken to a large connector conveniently located
on the system.
B. Fixture: - The in-circuit test system
connector interfaces with the second part of the
tester – the fixture. In view of the variety of
boards this will be designed specifically for a
particular board, and acts as an interface between
the board and the in circuit tester. It takes the
connections for the drive sensor points and routs
them directly to the relevant points on the
boarding using a “bed of nails”.
C. Software: - Software is written for each
board type that can be tested. It instructs the test
system what tests to perform, between what
points and details of the pass / fail criteria.
Technical Terms
• Active Hubs – amplify or boost signals
• Anti-Static – A product that prevents the buildup
of static electricity
• BIOS – Basic Input/output System, chip that
controls the most basic functions of the computer

touch) components of a computer system.
Hardware components are further divided into
three groups
• Host – any computer whether mainframe,
server, or even PC that acts as an information
source on a network.

signal will travel
• Joy Stick - a hand-held control stick that allows
a player to control the movements of a cursor on
a computer screen or a symbol in a video game.
• LAN Card – Local area network interface card.
• Laptop computer - A small, portable computer --
small enough that it can sit on your lap.

• Local Area Network- the smallest of the three
network types consists of PCs connected together
within a limited area, such as within the same
building, floor or department.
• Mainframe: A powerful multi-user computer
capable of supporting many hundreds or
thousands of users simultaneously.
• Metropolitan Area Network – are network that
spans no more than 50 miles. It is design to
connect LANs spanning a town or city
• Minicomputer: A multi-user computer capable of
supporting up to hundreds of users
simultaneously.

spans no more than 50 miles.
It is design to connect LANs spanning a town or
city
• Motherboard – contains the CPU, BIOS,
Memory, mass storage interfaces, serial and
parallel ports, expansion slot and all the
controllers required to control standard peripheral
devices such as the display screen, keyboard and
disk drive
Modem - (Modulator-Demodulator) The modem is
a device that allows a given computer to share
data or otherwise a device which let computers
exchange information
• Modular Hubs – are popular in networks
because they are easily expanded and always
have management option. It is purchased as
chassis, or card cage, with multiple card slots,
each of which accepts a communication card, or
module
