Do you know anything about electronic components? Knowledge of electronic components

Electronic components in the various devices in the model and logo are not the same, in the correct distinction between the different at the same time, but also, to understand all their functions, this article will be from three aspects of the electronic components of a simple science and technology, - practical knowledge of electronic components


I.Voltage, Current

Voltage and current are brothers, current flows from a place where the voltage (level) is high to a place where the voltage (level) is low, a current must be generated because of the presence of a voltage, but the presence of a voltage does not necessarily generate a current - if there is only a voltage and no current, it can be proved that there is an interruption in the circuit (e.g., there is a switch in the circuit). If there is only voltage but no current, it is evidence of a circuit break (e.g. a switch in the circuit). In addition, sometimes the measurement of voltage is normal but the measurement of current is not necessarily normal, such as a slight short-circuit phenomenon or a component of the resistance value of the phenomenon of large, etc., so in the maintenance must be combined with the voltage value and current value to analyze. When testing the unknown voltage or current with the multimeter, be sure to set the gear into the highest grade, such as measuring the value and then gradually lower the gear.


Note: The symbol for voltage is "V" and the symbol for current is "A".

II.Resistors

Various materials present a certain resistance to the current that passes through them, and this resistance is called resistance, and the entity (element) that has this physical property of aggregate resistance is called a resistor (simply a conductor with a resistance value). Its role in the circuit is very important, in the computer boards and peripherals in the number is also very large.



Its classification is also varied, if classified by use: current limiting resistors, buck resistors, voltage divider resistors, protection resistors, start-up resistors, sampling resistors, decoupling resistors, signal attenuation resistors, etc.; if classified by shape and production materials: gold film resistors, carbon film resistors, cement resistors, non-inductive resistors, thermistors, varistors, pull-wire resistors, chip resistors, etc.; if categorized by power: 1/ 16W, 1/8W, 1/4W, 1/2W, 1W...... and so on.
These resistors are common resistors, so their resistance value of the nominal method we must know, the following I will take the computer host card on the most common chip resistors as an example (the other resistors nominal method of the same): Chip resistor nominal method of digital and color ring method of these two.



First of all, the digital method, usually there are three resistors on the number XXX, the first two numbers in turn is the number of tens and digits, the last number is 10 of the Xth power, the specific resistance value of the resistor is the first two numbers of the two-digit number multiplied by 10 of the Xth power of the ohms, such as labeled with a 104 resistor resistance is 100000 ohms (i.e., 100KΩ), labeled with a 473 resistor resistance value is 47000 ohms (i.e., 47KΩ); the following author to say a few words about the color ring method, this nominal method is the most common in all the resistor nominal method (patch shape of the relatively few), the common color ring usually has four rings, we will be the gold or silver ring as the last ring, the first three rings of the color corresponds to the corresponding number, we know the number of numbers we need to use the number of the above mentioned method of reading the value of its resistance, but We must first know what color represents what number to do, so we must remember such a mnemonic - black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, gray and white, which corresponds to 0123456789, as for the gold and silver, respectively, said 10-1 and 10 -2, these two colors in the four-color ring resistor is only marked error value only, so as long as you understand the line. Below I also give two examples to illustrate, in order to understand and remember, such as marked brown, black, yellow and silver ring resistor resistance is 100000 ohms (i.e., 100KΩ), marked yellow, purple, orange and gold ring resistor resistance is 47000 ohms (i.e., 47KΩ).JoinWin is a professional electronic components distributor and partners with original manufacturers, provides genuine integrated circuits and connectors, supply hard-to-find and discontinued parts. To get accurate data for millions of electronic parts.Enjoy affordable prices for quality products.




There is also a five-color ring resistor, this resistor are some relatively small resistance value, relatively high precision resistors, because there are applications in computer peripherals, so I also introduce: it is gold or silver for the penultimate ring, the first three color ring were the hundredths, tenths, digits, and the last color ring is the error value, the specific resistance value of such a resistor is the first three color ring on behalf of the three digits of the three numbers composed of Three digits multiplied by 10 of the negative 1 times or negative 2 times Ohm, such as marked with brown, purple, green, silver and brown ring of the resistor resistance value is 1.75Ω.



About some of the basics of the resistor is so much, just in the replacement of the resistor's power should also be noted, usually 1/4 or 1/8 of the resistor to replace the chip resistor is not a problem.



Note: Using the digital method of the chip resistor is mostly black, the resistor in the circuit symbol for "R".

III.Capacitors

In addition to resistors, the most common is capacitors, simply put, capacitors are containers that store electric charge. For the shape of the capacitor may be most of the people engaged in hardware know, so I only briefly say. Common capacitors according to the shape and production materials can be divided into: chip capacitors, tantalum electrolytic capacitors, aluminum electrolytic capacitors, OS solid capacitors, electrodeless electrolytic capacitors, porcelain capacitors, mica capacitors, polypropylene capacitors.
One of the chip capacitors in the computer mainframe within the various boards on the most common, but only a small number of chip capacitors have a logo, have a logo of the chip capacitor capacity reading method and chip resistors, just the unit symbol for pF (1000000pF = 1μF), as for the majority of the majority of chip capacitors why most of them do not have a logo, I think that may not be easy to damage is not unrelated. In the computer power supply box and color display and many peripherals have a lot of ceramic capacitors and a variety of metalized capacitors, so I would also like to say that such capacitors belong to the non-polarized capacitors. Their capacity nominal method and digital resistors, only some capacitors will use a "n", the "n" means 1000, and it is located in the position and the capacity of the value also has a relationship, such as the nominal capacity of 10n capacitor is 10000pF (i.e., 0.01μF), labeled as 4n7 capacitor capacity is 4700pF (i.e., 4.7n) rather than 47000pF, as for the two kinds of capacitor voltage withstand value, are marked on the capacitor, such as 65V, 100V, 400V ...... and so on (only a few do not mark, but usually above 65V). usually above 65V).



Here I say a little more about aluminum electrolytic capacitors, which are characterized by large capacity and low cost, so they are widely used in various boards and power supply boxes, as well as most of the peripherals. In order to reduce the production cost, some manufacturers use a lot of relatively low withstand voltage value of capacitors, such as for the 5V voltage withstand voltage 6.5V filter capacitors. Although it can be used, but the failure rate is slightly higher, coupled with its thermal stability is not very high, so the replacement of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is very common. Just in the replacement of the voltage withstand value in the actual voltage 1.5 times more than the capacitor, but also pay attention to the positive and negative poles can not be connected to the reverse, especially the power supply part of the electrolytic capacitors should pay more attention to these two points, otherwise the capacitor may occur burst events.



In addition, there is a brand of capacitors, different brands of resistance is just not the same error value, but different brands of capacitors is the life and quality of the different, such as a variety of losses and insulation resistance and temperature coefficients of the different. The following author will introduce a few good brands to you: PHILIPS (Philips), RubyconBLACK GATE (black gold steel), Rubycon (Ruby), ELNA, ROE, SOLEN, Nichicon, DECON, WIMA (this product is very expensive capacitors above the capacity of 1μF), RIFA, ERO, if you really do not recognize it. You really do not recognize the words you just remember that all capacitors on the C, D two letters (all prefix) capacitors do not buy, such capacitors are not the world's leading manufacturers, and even some capacitors used in computer boards and cards may also cause a bad influence. These capacitors can only be used to capacitance performance requirements are not very high in the product (for example, to 4 dollars a radio), its capacity and some other performance indicators on the error is very large, even if the new factory products can ensure that 4 years or so can have a better performance, so it can not be loaded into the computer accessories.



Note: Chip capacitors are mostly gray, capacitance in the circuit symbol for "C".

IV Inductors

Inductors are made of coils of wire, which are mostly used for choking and filtering out high-frequency noise, and they come in many shapes: some are like resistors, some are like diodes, and some are coils of wire as soon as they look like coils. Usually only like a resistor inductors can read out the inductance value, because only this kind of color ring, the other is not. Chip inductors have the same shape as digital resistors, except that they do not have a number, instead of a small circle. As the number of inductors used is not too much, so we just need to understand it. In addition in a sense that a variety of transformers are actually composed of inductors.
 
Note: The symbol for an inductor in a circuit is "L".

V.Diode

A diode is a semiconductor that consists of an N-type semiconductor and a P-type semiconductor that form a PN junction at the interface where they meet. The main characteristic of a diode is that it conducts unidirectionally and cuts off in the opposite direction, i.e., a positive voltage is applied to the P-pole and a negative voltage is applied to the N-pole, so the directionality of the diode is very important.
Classified from the role of the diode can be divided into: rectifier diodes, buck diodes, voltage regulator diodes, switching diodes, detector diodes, varactor diodes; from the production of materials can be divided into: silicon diodes and germanium diodes.



No matter what the diode, there is a forward conduction voltage, lower than this voltage when the diode can not conduct, the silicon tube of the forward conduction voltage in the 0.6V ~ 0.7V, germanium tube in the 0.2V ~ 0.3V, of which 0.7V and 0.3V is the diode's maximum forward conduction voltage - that is, to the voltage, regardless of how high the voltage and then How to increase the voltage (can not be higher than the diode's rated voltage withstand value), added to the diode on the voltage will not rise again.



Above said the diode's forward conduction characteristics, the diode also has the reverse conduction characteristics, only the conduction voltage to be relatively higher than the forward direction of many, the other and forward conduction is not too much difference. Voltage regulator diode is the use of this principle made, but because of this theory to go on may be too long, so only to do the introduction, you just need to remember that the smaller the reverse leakage current proves that the diode's quality is better, the better the quality of the silicon tube in a few milliamps to dozens of milliamps between the germanium tube in dozens of milliamps to several hundreds of milliamps between.
Different diodes of different roles: color show a lot of rectifier diodes, there are four rectifier diodes is the role of 220V AC power into 300V DC, that is, the most famous rectifier bridge circuit, of course, there is a considerable part of the color show has been integrated into the four diodes for a silicon pile. However, whether discrete or integrated, the diodes used are low-frequency diodes, but the output voltage after the switching power supply circuit should use switching diodes or fast recovery diodes. This must be remembered, because if the low frequency diode is used to rectify the high frequency voltage, the diode will be burned, and even other components will be burned. However, there is no problem if a high frequency diode is used in a low frequency circuit. In addition, diodes and capacitors have the same withstand voltage value, so only the withstand voltage value is higher than the actual voltage of the diode can be safely used.



Diodes can be used with confidence. Voltage regulator diodes are also very common, it can stabilize the higher voltage to its rated voltage value, but it is connected and diode is the opposite, because it uses the reverse conduction principle.



Note: The symbol for diode in a circuit is "VD" or "D", and the symbol for voltage regulator diode is "ZD".

VI.Triode

The role of the triode is to amplify or switch or regulate, it is not many in the computer host, but in the monitor as well as some peripherals in the number is not very small. It can be divided into PNP type and NPN type according to the different semiconductor
substrate materials, see this is not difficult to understand the triode is two diodes combined together. But here P and N is not simply positive or negative pole relationship, but is divided into B pole (base), C pole (collector), E pole (emitter), whether PNP-type or NPN-type, the B pole is the control pole, just PNP-type transistor B pole to be lower than the emitter of the voltage for the conduction control, and NPN-type transistor B pole to be higher than the emitter of the voltage for the conduction control. That's all. In addition, the triode also has a maximum withstand voltage value and maximum power value, so try to avoid the small horse-drawn car sentiment, otherwise the consequences may be very serious.
Note: The symbol for triode in the circuit is "VT" or "Q" or "V".

VII.Potentiometers

Potentiometer can also be understood as an adjustable resistor with variable resistance value, but it is not different from variable resistor, the pins of potentiometer are above 3 pins. The role of the potentiometer is mainly to regulate the value of various signals or voltages, in addition to the host of the various boards and cards, it is still widely used, from the color display to the active multimedia speakers almost all the devices have the existence of potentiometer. Under normal circumstances, it is best not to move the circuit of the potentiometer (except for a variety of adjustment knob potentiometer outside the machine), especially the power supply part of the, because a lot of the value of our manual conditions are simply not adjusted to the optimal value. Of course, if it is damaged and must be replaced when it is a different matter, but also must use the same specifications of the potentiometer and to adjust it to the original potentiometer almost the same conditions and then try the machine, so that you can do some insurance. In addition, the production of potentiometer materials are not the same, roughly divided into three categories: metal film potentiometer, synthetic carbon potentiometer, metal - vitreous enamel potentiometer.



Note: In the circuit potentiometer symbol "W".

VIIIThree-Terminal Voltage Regulator

The role of the regulator is to step down the voltage and stabilize it to a fixed value after the output, such as three-terminal regulator block 7805 can be less than 35V voltage step down into a stable 5V output voltage, it is much better than just use a regulator diode to regulate the circuit, the cost is not very high, so the application is still very wide.



Common three-terminal voltage regulator can be divided into positive voltage regulator and negative voltage regulator block two kinds of positive voltage 78XX series, negative voltage 79XX series, the two are not interchangeable, so do not get confused when you choose. Of course, the voltage regulator is not the only two series, and there are four-terminal regulator and five-terminal regulator, just in the computer system of the two series of the most common; in addition to the regulator is a small, medium and high power points, in the replacement do not use small power to replace the high power, but the replacement of small power with high power is not any problem.



As for the brand is also something to talk about, some of the bad quality of the voltage regulator block of the voltage regulator value and the nominal value of the error is very large, and even some brands of voltage regulator block of the thermal stability is very bad, often lead to strange failures. In the author has used a number of brands of voltage regulator block there are four brands of quality and performance is considered very good, they are: ST (ST), AN (Panasonic), LM (U.S. National half), MC (Motorola), their specific brand can be seen from the prefix of the model.



Speaking of the fuse may be said: "What can be said ah? Not just a thin copper wire!" . In fact, it is not, the fuse is also very good taste, the fuse is divided into DC fuse and AC time-delay fuse two kinds, and there are current insurance and voltage insurance points, they can not be used interchangeably, otherwise it is likely to play the role of the insurance, and even sometimes will be turned on to burn the insurance, the fuse fuse current is generally in the appliance rated current between 1.5 ~ 2 times in order to play a good insurance! Role, so in the discovery of the fuse fuse should try to use and the original fuse fuse current is not much of a new fuse instead; In addition, the fuse also has a voltage value, so we have to pay extra attention, otherwise it may even burn the fuse.
 
Note: The symbol for the voltage regulator block in the circuit is "IC".

IX.Integrated Blocks

Integrated block can be said to be the main core of the computer system components, in addition to some of the analog signal processing everywhere outside the integrated block, such as CPU, RAM, ROM and South, North Bridge chip and graphics card chips belong to the category of integrated blocks. Although the number of integrated blocks, the role of the most important, but its failure rate is the lowest, if there is no high-voltage "attack", the peripheral components of the serious short-circuit phenomenon, basically will not be damaged, and even if it is bad, some of the integrated blocks are also very difficult to replace. There are a lot of people listen to replace the integrated block will say that in case of carelessness is the new integrated block will be electrostatic breakdown, in fact, not all integrated blocks are afraid of the human body or static electricity on the soldering iron, only the low voltage
