Study Notes
Electronic Circuit Diagrams
- A circuit diagram is a drawing that represents an electronic circuit.
- Soldering guns or special machines are used to complete electronic circuit connections.
Electrical Circuit Diagrams
- A wiring diagram is a drawing that represents an electrical circuit.
- Electrical circuit components, such as flexible cables, are used to connect.
- Electrical wiring diagrams are typically performed at 220 Volts or 110 Volts, and require necessary safety precautions to avoid short circuits.
Diagram Creation and Symbols
- Both electrical and electronic diagrams are usually drawn by draftsmen and then printed.
- Diagrams can also be created digitally using specialized software.
- Wiring and circuit diagrams use special symbols to represent components, such as resistors, capacitors, insulators, motors, outlet boxes, lights, and switches.
- These symbols show how components are connected and help simulate the circuit.
Schematics
- A schematic is a diagram of an electrical circuit that graphically represents the essential connections.
- Schematics use symbols to represent components, but are not life-like depictions of a circuit.
Electronic Circuit Voltages
- Electronic circuits typically use low voltage direct current sources, such as 5V, 12V, or 24V.
- 5V is commonly used in microprocessors, 12V in resistors, and 24V in electronic relay circuits.
- 110V is commonly used in electrical wiring diagrams, such as circuit breaker wiring and protection relay wiring.
Examples of Electronic Circuits
- A simple electronic circuit may consist of resistors, capacitors, and a lamp, connected to create a flash in a camera.
- A complex electronic circuit may consist of thousands of resistors, capacitors, and transistors.
- Examples of electronic circuits include smartphones, microprocessors in computers, and integrated circuits.
