When you hear the term switch, the first thing that will come into your mind is the ability to turn a circuit on and off. An intermediate switch is just one type of switch that you should know. Simply defined, an intermediate switch is usually used in applications where three or more switches are used…
Robots are machines that are programmed to complete tasks autonomously or with limited human intervention. Given their importance in the manufacturing, healthcare, and service industries, it is no surprise that there has also been an increase in the demand for robot sensors. Simply defined, robot sensors are special sensors used by robots to monitor their…
A Fusible Resistor, also known as a fuse resistor, meltdown resistor or a current-limiting resistor, is a low-power type of resistor that is well designed to melt in case a certain amount of current flows through it thus breaking the circuit connectivity. When overloaded with current, it is the only resistor form intended to burn…
In a variety of industries, a pulse transformer is one of the most extensively used bespoke transformers. Vacuum devices, in general, operate on high-power pulse voltage created by high-power pulse transformers. The structure of these transformers is compact, and the repeatability is excellent. Wide pulse width, low rising time, and high energy efficiency are all…
A pH sensor is a scientific device that measures alkalinity and acidity in water and other liquids. It is a vital device used in many industries, including food, power plants, gas, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, beverage, primaries, oil, and wastewater. When it comes to measuring water quality, different pH sensors perform differently. As a result, it is…
As a reputable PCB manufacturer, you can’t ignore IPC standards. To put it another way, you can’t claim to make dependable PCBs until you check the IPC standards. That’s why there are so many IPC standards to ensure that your product is reliable. As a result, if you’re new to PCB design, the IPC standards…
Zener diodes are a type of specialty diode that can be operated below its reverse-voltage threshold, or breakdown, to produce a stable, predictable, fixed voltage at an intermediate current. In other words, zener diodes can operate in the non-linear region and still perform a useful function. Zener diodes are named for William Shockley, inventor of…
Smart sensors are not the future. They’re the present, and they’re enabling companies to do things they never thought possible. Smart sensors have the ability to monitor almost any type of data from almost any type of object or surface. From monitoring your car engine as it’s driving to monitoring the chemical components of a…
There are different ways of naming circuits. One way is by naming them according to the electronic components that they have. It is under this that we have a resistor-inductor circuit, which is also always abbreviated as an RL circuit. Sometimes it is always referred to as RL filter or just RL network. Read on…
When you think of something breaking, you’re thinking of a circuit breaker. It is a type of device that detects if there is an imminent threat to the circuit’s ability to perform its function safely and effectively. If the circuit senses danger, it will shut down power to prevent further damage until technicians can evaluate…
