 IETI RESISTOR
Las Piñas The main function of resistors in a circuit is to
Electronic Products
Assembly and Servicing
control the flow of current to other components.
EPAS NC II
Take an LED (light) for example, if too much
current flows through a LED it is destroyed. So, a
resistor is used to limit the current.

 IETI CAPACITOR
Las Piñas Its function is to store the electrical energy and
give this energy again to the circuit when

In other words, it charges and discharges the
electric charge stored in it. Besides this, the
functions of a capacitor are as follows: It blocks
the flow of DC and permits the flow of AC.

 IETI TRANSISTOR
Las Piñas A transistor is a semiconductor device used to
Electronic Products amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical
Assembly and Servicing power. It is composed of semiconductor material
EPAS NC II
usually with at least three terminals for
connection to an external circuit.

 IETI LIGHT DEPENDENT RESISTOR
Las Piñas (LDR)
A photoresistor is a light-controlled variable
Electronic Products resistor. The resistance of a photoresistor
Assembly and Servicing decreases with increasing incident light
EPAS NC II
intensity; in other words, it exhibits
photoconductivity. A photoresistor can be
applied in light-sensitive detector circuits, and
light-activated and dark-activated switching
circuits.

 IETI LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE (LED)
Las Piñas A light-emitting diode (LED) is a
Electronic Products
Assembly and Servicing
semiconductor device that emits visible light
EPAS NC II when an electric current passes through it.
The light is not particularly bright, but in
most LEDs it is monochromatic, occurring
at a single wavelength.

 IETI DIODE
Las Piñas
The most common function of a diode is to
Electronic Products
Assembly and Servicing allow an electric current to pass in one direction
EPAS NC II (called the diode's forward direction), while
blocking it in the opposite direction (the reverse
direction). As such, the diode can be viewed as
an electronic version of a check valve.

ZENER DIODE
Assembly and Servicing Zener diodes are widely used as voltage references and as
EPAS NC II shunt regulators to regulate the voltage across small circuits.
When connected in parallel with a variable voltage source so
that it is reverse biased, a Zener diode conducts when the
voltage reaches the diode's reverse breakdown voltage..

Las Piñas POLARIZED CAPACITOR
Electronic Products What is the function of a polarized capacitor?
Assembly and Servicing
EPAS NC II Electrolytic capacitors are the most popular
polarized capacitors. They provide large
values of capacitance in a small economical
package. Their main use is for power supply
filtering (storage).
 IETI NON-POLARIZED CAPACITOR
Las Piñas Non-polarized ("non polar") capacitor is a
Electronic Products type of capacitor that has no implicit polarity
Assembly and Servicing
EPAS NC II -- it can be connected either way in a circuit.
Ceramic, mica and some electrolytic
capacitors are non-polarized. You'll also
sometimes hear people call them "bipolar"
capacitors.

Las Piñas A transformer is a device that is used to either

capacitors are often used in circuits to set the
resonance frequency, to tune a radio, or as a
variable reactance, for impedance matching in
antenna tuners.

terminals are used, one end and the wiper, it
acts as a variable resistor or rheostat.
