Study Notes
Soldering Iron
- A hand tool that melts solder to create a secure electrical connection between two workpieces
- Should not be higher than 30 watts
- Mr.DIY is a reliable and cheap brand to consider
Soldering Lead
- An alloy typically made of tin and lead
- Used to join metal components by melting with a soldering iron
- Avoid cheap soldering lead as it can impact solder quality
- ISHIKAWA (0.8mm) is a high-quality soldering lead brand
Tweezers
- Used to handle small components with accuracy
- Can be used to position components on circuit boards, remove or replace delicate parts without damage
Desoldering Pump
- A mechanical device used for removing solder from a printed circuit board
- Also known as a solder sucker
Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
- A flat board that connects electronic components electrically
- Uses conductive pathways, tracks, or traces etched from copper sheets
3mm LED Light
- A small light-emitting diode with a diameter of 3 millimeters
- Used for indicating status, providing illumination, or for decorative purposes
Wire Cutters
- Used to cut wires made from copper, brass, iron, aluminum, and steel
- Nail cutters can serve as an alternative
MAX7219 IC
- A multiplexing chip that controls up to 64 LEDs or 8-digit 7-segment displays
- Simplifies LED control using serial communication
24-Pin IC Holder
- A socket that securely holds a 24-pin integrated circuit on a circuit board
- Allows easy installation and removal of ICs without direct soldering
Capacitor
- Stores energy and filters signals
- Commonly used for filtering, decoupling, and smoothing signals in electronic circuits
- Provides stable voltage and reduces noise
- Measured in Farads (F)
- Examples include 100µF electrolytic capacitor and 10nF ceramic capacitor
Resistor
- Limits current, divides voltage, or provides specific resistance in electronic circuits
- Measured in ohms (Ω)
