CONCEPT NOTES:

Draw and identify correctly electrical / electronic schematic

One of the features of a quality electronic diagram is its appearance with simplicity and design and easy to
understand layout. To do that, you have to observe the following rules in laying out electronic diagrams.

Rules in drawing electrical schematic diagram:

1. The position of a symbol in a diagram does not affect its meaning.

2. The weight of a line used in drawing a symbol does not affect its meaning.
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 ba drawn smaller or larger than the
other symbols in the diagram. However for simplicity, it is recommended that
not more than 2 different sizes of symbols should be used in in the drawing.
5. 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 significant meaning unless
otherwise noted.
6. The arrowhead of a symbol may be open or closed unless 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.

Symbols used to represent various components in an electronic/electrical diagram:

 Note: When more than one symbol of a specific type of component appears on a diagram, the letter/s is/are
followed by numbers that identify the components. This combination of letters and numbers is referred to as
Reference Designation.

Suffix Letters
Suffix letters are used to identify separate parts of a unit upon a diagram when such components
appear as single.

Line Thickness - Line conversion is used in drawing electrical/electronic diagrams

Figure 7
Connecting Lines - lines connecting symbols and other parts of on a diagram should be drawn
vertically or horizontally. As a general rule, no more than 3 lines should be drawn to any point on a
circuit diagram. This procedure reduces the possibility of line crowding that could make the
interpretation of a diagram more difficult to interpret.

Recommended Avoid if possible

Dashed Lines - (----) are used on schematic and other types of diagrams to show a mechanical
linkages between components or parts of components.

Figure 9

Layout - The layout or form of a diagram should show the main features prominently. The parts of
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.
