Identify & Test Components
If you like to scrounge electronic components from old equipment, you have likely come across parts that couldn’t be identified right away as a transistor, a capacitor, or something else. It might be due to a strange shape, unexpected color coding, or the text printed on the part, as is often the case with integrated circuits (ICs). SMT components might not have any print on them at all. Once you identify a component, you probably want to reuse it. But since it was stripped from an old and possibly defective circuit board, you first must verify that it works before soldering it into your circuit. In this upcoming Elektor webinar, David Ashton will not only share tips and tricks for identifying unknown electronic components, but he will also present several techniques that can be used to test parts of uncertain provenance without requiring expensive or fancy test equipment.Looking for info and details about previous and upcoming Elektor webinars?
