O'Reilly 9781449333898 Encyclopedia of Electronic Components Volume 1

If you have trouble telling a relay from a resistor or you don't have the capacity to use a capacitor then it's time to turn to the Encyclopedia of Electronic Components.

Written by Charles Platt, author of Make: Electronics, The Encyclopedia of Electronic Components Volume 1 contains 278 pages of information about numerous components and their uses.

This reference book is aimed at the electronics novice rather than the expert, but it offers plenty of problem-solving and fault-finding advice in a practical rather than theoretical way, so is a really handy addition to any electronics workshop or classroom.

Whether you want to know something as simple as how a stepper motor works or are scratching your head to find out why a relay has failed this book has all the answers.

• Subjects include: Batteries, Jumpers, Fuses, Pushbuttons, Switches, Rotational Encoders, Relays, Resistors, Potentiometers, Capacitors, Inductors, Transformers, Power Supplies, Voltage Regulators, Electromagnets, Solenoids, Motors, Diodes and Transistors.
