ELECTRONICS SYMBOLS

Name Symbol Function

Ammeter




An ammeter is used to measure current.
Solar Cell

Converts light to electrical energy.
The larger terminal (on the left) is positive (+).

IEC (Integrated Electronic Circuit)
AND LOGIC GATE


An AND gate can have two or more inputs. The output of an AND
gate is true when all its inputs are true.
Crystal Oscillator

Used to generate precise frequency clock signal
Air Core Inductor

When an inductor does not appear to have a core, it is referred to
as an air core inductor. Air core inductors cause very little distortion
of the electrical current, but the coil section of the inductor must be
very long to function at a high capacity.. It concentrates magnetic
field, and is used for radio frequencies.



Capacitor

The basic function of a capacitor is to concentrate the electric field
of the voltage applied across the insulator or dielectric. It is used to
store electric charge, and acts as short circuit with AC and open
circuit with DC.
Amplifier

An amplifier increases the magnitude of, or amplifies, an electric
signal. It is used to increase the amplitude of a signal waveform,
without changing other parameters of the waveform such as
frequency or wave shape. They are one of the most commonly used
circuits in electronics and perform a variety of functions in a great
many electronic systems.


Transistor (NPN)



It is a semiconductor device that can control and amplify current. It
allows current flow when high potential at base (middle).
Antenna

An antenna transmits and receives radio waves. It is a device for
radiating electromagnetic signals fed into it from a radio transmitter
into space.
Cathode-Ray Tubes (CRT)

A cathode-ray tube (CRT) is a device which utilizes cathode "rays," i.e.,
"rays" emitted by the device's cathode. Cathode rays are, of course,
streams of electrons.
Motor


A motor is a transducer, which converts electrical energy to kinetic
energy (motion).

Fuse


Fuse is a safety device, which will 'blow' or melt if the current
flowing through it exceeds a specified value. It is used as a
protection for electrical circuits.

Oscilloscope


An oscilloscope is used to display the shape of electrical signals
and it can be used to measure their voltage and time period.



Thermocouple

Thermocouple produces a voltage when the temperature of one of
the spots differs from the reference temperature at other parts of the
circuit. It is a widely used type of temperature sensor for
measurement and control and can also convert a temperature
gradient into electricity.
Thermistor


Thermistors change resistance as temperatures change. Most
thermistors have a negative temperature coefficient, meaning their
resistance falls as temperature increases. Thermistors are used in
temperature-sensing circuits. It is a transducer which converts
temperature (heat) to resistance (an electrical property).


Silicon Controlled Rectifier



This is suitable for use in medium to high-voltage AC power control
applications.


Transformer




Transformers are used to step up (increase) and step down
(decrease) AC voltages.


Relay


It is an electrically operated switch which is necessarily used
multiple circuits are required to be switched.

Resistor


It is a load or a part of a load that regulates the current and resist
the current flow.

Microphone


A transducer which converts sound to electrical energy.
