A potentiometer is known as a position sensor as it senses the displacement in any direction. Linear potentiometers measure linear displacements whereas rotary potentiometers measure rotary displacement. They are a type of resistors however, they do not carry as much…
Resistors are considered among the most vital components in an electronic circuit. Their function can go from providing power to preventing short circuits. Therefore, resistors are an integral part of every power supply and build with the electronics that you…
Surface-mount resistors are widely used along with several other surface-mount components. The majority of consumer, commercial, and industrial electronics are manufactured using surface-mount technology. Surface Mount Resistors, also known as surface mount devices or SMD, are appropriate for many applications,…
The very first antennas were built by a German physicist named Heinrich Hertz. In radio engineering, an antenna is considered the interface that exists between radio waves generated through space and electric currents moving within an inductor and is used…
Ferrite cores are a form of magnetic cores constructed from ferrite on which the windings of the electric transformers and other such wound components like indicators are created. It has the properties of high magnetic permeability and low electrical conductivity;…
Polypropylene film capacitors are commonly available as leaded components. The polypropylene dielectric is indicated by the initials PP, and the capacitor itself is also known by the same initials. Polypropylene is a manufacturing material and has many benefits due to…
Film capacitors fall in the non-polarized capacitor category and use a thin plastic film as dielectric. These plastic films are usually metalized and are available in the market as metalized condensers. This is why they are also known as plastic…
Aluminium Capacitors are also known as aluminium electrolytic capacitors that use two electrodes. One electrode used by these capacitors is aluminium metal covered with a very slim layer of aluminium oxide as the dielectric. The electrolyte is used as its…
Beam clamps are temporary fixing solutions and are also known as girder clamps. They are used to secure or remove fixtures and other hardware. It provides a portable and simple method of attaching a hoist to a lifting beam or…
Channel support systems are also known as struts, channel struts, Unistrut, metal framing hardware, and construction struts. These products are widely used throughout the mechanical or electrical industries for supporting lightweight structures that include plumbing and wiring. Therefore, they can…
