Electronics schematics is a blueprint of electronic circuits that you will encounter once you understand all the basic electronics science. However, before you start dealing directly with electronic schemes, some electronic circuits that might make you feel confused, it's a good idea to first understand some of the types of symbols that will appear in these electronic schemes. There are lots of symbols that you should really know. Therefore, we will share them in several articles to explain all these symbols. For this article, we will discuss some of the symbols of electronic components that will often be used in some of the basic electronic circuits that you will practice.
The following are some of the basic electronic component symbols that you will encounter in an electronic schematic and to make it easier for you to understand the meaning of these symbols we will use image media to explain them.
Resistor Symbol
There are two kinds of symbols used to represent resistors in electronic schemes which are very often used. The following is a symbol of the resistor.
Capacitor Coat
For this capacitor symbol, there are generally three kinds of symbols that you can find. The three types of symbols are to symbolize the types of capacitors, namely fixed capacitors, polar capacitors, and variable capacitors. The following is a symbol of each type of capacitor.
Transistor Symbol
In this transistor symbol there are 3 kinds of symbols which also symbolize the types of transistors like capacitors. Actually there are more than 3 kinds of transistors that you can find, but only these 3 types of transistors are very often used. The four types of transistors are NPN transistors, PNP transistors, and photo transistors. Here is a symbol of the transistor that you will meet in the schematic.
One of the sciences that you must master in advanced electronics is understanding the meaning of the symbols that you will encounter in the schematic, therefore, we will prioritize raising the topic of component symbols first before entering into how to assemble components with look at the structure of the electronic schematic.
