LIST OF COMPONENTS

Component Name Specification

Printed Circuit Board(PCB) Printed circuit boards route signals and power through electronic devices,
providing both mechanical and electrical connections. Conductive pathways
or tracks are etched onto a copper sheet to provide the basic layout of PCBs.
PCBs are used in almost all electronic devices.
Vero Board Veroboard is a brand of stripboard, a pre-formed circuit
board material of copper strips on an insulating bonded
paper board.
One Way Switch One-way switch has two terminals.It has definite on and off
states.
SPDT (Single pole double throw) The SPDT has two circuits with two choices of “ON.” This also
Switch makes SPDT a two-circuit mechanism.

DPDT (Double pole double DPDT is basically two SPDTs together on the same switch. It is
throw) Switch a dual ON-ON kind of switch derived from the characteristics
of SPDT. A DPDT switch usually has two (ON-ON) or three
(ON-OFF-ON) positions.

Relay A relay is an electrically operated switch.The relay’s switch connections are

usually labeled as COM (Common), NC (Normally Closed) & NO (Normally
Open).
Power Transistor Power transistor is a transistor that is used in high-power amplifiers & power
supplies.The collector of the transistor is connected to a metal base that acts
as a heat-sink to dissipate excess power.
Diode A diode is a device which allows current flow through only one direction. That
is the current should always flow from the Anode to cathode.
Zener Diode A Zener diode is a type of diode that allows current to flow not only
from its anode to its cathode, but also in the reverse direction,
when the Zener voltage is reached.
Electrolytic Capacitor An electrolytic capacitor is a polarized capacitor whose anode or
positive plate is made of a metal that forms an
insulating oxide layer through anodization.
Polyestar Film Capacitor Polyester film capacitors are a type of capacitor , where the
polyester film (PET) is used as the insulation material.
Ceramic Capacitor A ceramic capacitor is a fixed-value capacitor where the ceramic
material acts as the dielectric.
Wirewound Resistor The wire wound resistor is made by winding the metal wire
around a metal core. In wire wound resistors, metal wire is
used as the resistance element and metal core is used as
the non-conductive material.
Metal Film Resistor Metal film resistors have a thin metal layer as resistive element on a non-
conducting body.

Carbon Composition Resistor The carbon composition resistors are made from a solid
cylindrical resistive element with embedded wire leads or
metal end caps.
 Preset A preset is a three legged electronic component which can be made
to offer varying resistance in a circuit.
Potentiometer A potentiometer is a three-terminal resistor with a sliding or
rotating contact that forms an adjustable voltage divider.
Seven Segment Display A seven-segment display (SSD), or seven-segment indicator, is a
form of electronic display device for
displaying decimalnumerals that is an alternative to the more
complex dot matrix displays.
Light Emitting Diode(LED) A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source that
emits light when current flows through it.
Regulator IC(IC 7805) 7805 is a voltage regulator integrated circuit. It is a member of 78xx
series of fixed linear voltage regulator ICs. 7805 provides +5V
regulated power supply.
Microcontroller(IC AT89C2051) 89C2051 or AT89C2051 is an 8-bit microcontroller and
belongs to Atmel's 8051 family. It has 20-pin.
Piezoelectric Crystal The piezoelectric crystal is one of a small scale energy resource.
When these crystals are automatically deformed then they produce
a tiny voltage which is known as piezoelectricity.
