Searching for a tag name using a string that doesn't exist in any tag causes internal server error 500. Reproduce this way: Click Tags in the menu In the search box, type something that doesn'...
The black one is a tantalum capacitor. There are various weird ways to mark these (because typing out 100u instead of 100- would be too easy...). If I'm correct in this case, I believe: 100 stan...
It is some manner of BJT or MOSFET LED driver similar to for example this: NCR402T (just a random example, this one was PNP). They are literally called "SOT23 LED driver" (Mouser calls them "SOT23...
I'm not sure there's a technical reason, except usually the offered parts are multi-topology and then they could be listed as buck-boost while they at the same time could as well be used as flyback...
I'm working on another project with extreme EMC requirements as per various notorious military EMC standards. Civilian product but for military use, and as such subject to the toughest levels of co...
Quite often, I find myself knowing the technical term of an electronic component in my native language, but not the proper English term. For example when translating a manual or other technical doc...
To expand on Olin's answer about power dissipation, one theory is EX/ATEX qualification for explosive environments. This is likely needed for these kind of cars, given the massive energy in those b...
Hi there! The on-topic page https://electrical.codidact.com/help/topics might need a bit of tweaking and discussion. I think it is important that such a page attempts to be as specific as possible ...
Assume that I have some generic antenna connector, followed by a pi-filter/50ohm impedance matching components, then a DC blocking cap (as per the RF switch recommendations) and then a RF switch fo...
I'm wondering what's the most correct term (if any) to use for "switching noise" of a radio transceiver? By that I mean the spikes that originate from turning the power amp on/off while switching b...
During FCC (or any other EMC) testing, the manufacturer will use some antenna(s) and only those antennas will be the ones approved. If you modify the antenna or use one which wasn't used in the tes...
It depends on how you define "battery". I guess the definition is different depending on if you are a chemist, an engineer or a consumer. When electrical engineers speak of batteries, they typicall...
#1 before anything else is to do your homework. The Nordic semi web site says: "nRF24 Series Not recommended for new designs". That means forget about using this part! They are phasing it out of pr...
The usual culprits would rather be the ground clip itself or accidentally shorting something with it, more so than ESD. And if something has actually broken on the scope, I'd suspect the probe to b...
I posted a post containing C code in the Papers category here, using the ```c formatting which works elsewhere on Codidact. The code does not get formatted with color coding, though it gets fixed ...
Someone just created the tags 208VAC and 230VAC. If think we need to create a policy about tag usage related to supply voltages. Clearly, stating the supply voltage is highly relevant information ...
I think we should try to come up with some consensus regarding how to use the new reactions feature, more specifically the "outdated" and "dangerous" options. Which kind of posts should these be us...
You start by checking the forward voltage and rated current for the LED. 20mA is the usual industry standard for regular LEDs and the forward voltage will be specified for that rated current. In t...
There's lots of specialized tools for various through-hole components overall, all of them generally called "lead benders". For TO-220 it appears that the term is lead bending/forming pliers. And t...
I'm curious about the market trend of certain kind of components (specifically, 0603 ceramic capacitors) and if I should start worrying about these getting phased out. I started to write a question...
You are forgetting that the transmitter plays part of it too. ACK is dominant simply because the transmitter sends ACK as recessive and any receiver must be able to override the recessive state of ...
The key to writing good self-answered Q&A is to try to write the question just as if you didn't know the answer. That is, it has to fulfil the usual quality criteria for normal questions. This ...
Are BOM/PCB assembly cost cost optimization questions on-topic here? I can see how chasing down specific parts, prices and vendors ought to be off-topic, so I don't mean outright shopping/second so...
