Electronics 1
- Wires
Represents a conductor that conducts electrical current. also called a power line or electrical line or wire
- Connected Wires
Represents the connection of two conductors. Dot shows the junction point
- Unconnected Wires
Represents two unconnected joints or wire
- Input Bus Line
Represent a bus for input or incoming data
- Output Bus Line
Represents a bus for Output or outgoing data
- Terminal
Represents start or end point
- Bus line
Represents a number of conductors joined together to form a bus wire.
Switches
- Push Button (normally open)
This switch is in ON state when the button is pressed otherwise it is in OFF state
- Push Button (Normally closed)
This switch is initially in ON state. This goes to OFF state when it is released
- SPST Switch
Single pole single throw is abbreviated as SPST. This acts as an on/off switch. Poles define the number of circuits it can be connected to, and throws defines the number of positions that a pole connect.
- SPDT Switch
Single pole double throw is abbreviated as SPDT. This allows the current to flow in any one of the two directions by adjusting its position
- DPST switch
A double pole single throw is abbreviated as. his switch can drive two circuits at a time
- DPDT switch
double pole double throw is the full form of DPDT. This can be connect to the four circuits by change the positions.
- Relay Switch
This represents the relay switch. This can control the AC loads using the DC voltage applied to the coil
AC = alternating current
DC = Direct Current
Sources
- AC supply
This represents AC supply in the circuit
- DC supply
This represents the Dc power Supply. It applies DC supply to the circuit
- Constant Current Source
The symbol represents an independent current source which delivers constant current
- Controlled Current Source
It is a dependent current source. usually depends on other sources
- Controlled Voltage Source
It is a dependent voltage source. Usually depends on other sources
- Single Cell battery
This provides supply to the circuit
- Multi Cell Battery
Combination of multiple single cell batteries or a single large cell battery. The Voltage is usually higher
Wave Generators
- Sinusoidal Generator
Represents sine wave generator
- Pulse Generator
Represents pulse or swuare wave generator
- triangular Wave
Represents triangular wave
Ground
- Ground
It is equivalent to theoretical 0V and is used as zero potential reference. It is the potential of perfectly conducting earth * Neutralizes the possible electric currents such as lightings.
- Signal Ground
It is a reference point from which the signal is measured. There may be several signal grounds in a circuit due to the voltage drops in a circuit. * mostly used for telco
- Chassis Ground
It acts as a barrier between user and the circuit and prevents electric shock
Resistor
- Fixed Resistor
It is a device that opposes the flow of current in a circuit. These two symbols are used to represent fixed resistors.
Variable Resistor
- Rheostat
It is a two terminal variable resistor. They are generally used to control the current in the circuit. Generally used in tuning circuits and power control applications like heaters.
- Preset
It is a mini variable resistor. It is also called trimmer resistor or trim pot. The resistance is adjusted with rotary control present on top of it with the help of a screwdriver. They are used to adjust the sensitivity of the circuit like temperature or light.
- Thermistor
It is a temperature sensitive resistor. They are used in temperature sensing, current limiting circuits, over-current protection circuits etc.
- Varistor
It is a Voltage Dependent Resistor. It has non-linear current-voltage characteristics. Generally used in circuit protection from voltage surges and excessive transient voltage.
- Magneto Resistor
They are also called a Magnetic Dependent Resistors. The resistance of magneto resistor varies according to he external magnetic field strength. They are used in electronic compass ferrous material detection, position sensors
- LDR
They are also calls as photo resistors, The resistance of LDR varies with the intensity of the light incident on it, They are generally used in light sensing applications.
- Tapped resistor
A wire-wound type fixed resistor with one or more terminals along its length. Generally used in voltage divider applications
- Attenuator
It is a device used to lower the power of signa. They are made from simple voltage dividers and hence can be classified in the family of resistors.
Memristor
The resistance of memristor is varies according to the direction of flow of charge. Can be used in signal processing, logic/ computation
Capacitor
- Non-polarized
Stores the charge in the form of electrical energy. Theses two symbols are used for non-polarized capacitor are used fro
- Polarized
Inductors
- Center Tapped Inductors
Used in Coupling of signals
- Variable Inductors
Movable ferrite magnetic core
- Iron Core
- Ferrite Core inductors
