Electronic Components: A Complete Reference for Project Builders Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The book is an excellent basic reference book on electronic components. It would probably be a bit complex for someone without some background in electronics, but it is MUCH easier to understand than any electronics textbooks I have read

This is an all-in-one guide to electronic component specifications and applications. With this handy benchtop reference, you'll have at your fingertips a one-stop source of practical information on virtually every kind of electronic component. In "Electronic Components: A Complete Reference For Project Builders", Delton T. Horn provides you with the important working characteristics, specifications, and uses for each component listed. Horn, a well-known electronics expert, has divided this book into three parts - passive nonamplifying components; active devices (semiconductor components); and miscellaneous devices (for example, transducers and switches). You'll find a wide range of topics that give you all the data necessary for successful experimentation: wire and solder; capacitors; diodes; linear ICs; resistors; coils and transformers; transistors; and digital ICs. Throughout, Horn presents helpful insights into the theory and operation of components in typical circuit designs, the pros and cons of using devices in various situations, where and how to find parts, and criteria for making substitutions.Armed with this book and a manufacturer's specification sheet, you can be confident that you're choosing the proper components for your circuit designs.

Electronic Failure Analysis Handbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After I read this book, I passed it to my Engineers, and afterwhich I never have a chance to access it anymore, as both my Engineers just won't let go!
This is indeed "THE BIBLE" for Failure Analysis. It covers most of the techniques needed for each type of FA, like X-ray imaging, SAM, Thermal imaging, Metallography, Chemical Characterization, SEM/EDX, and Electronic Failures. The best of it all is that in Part 2, it is organized in terms of equipment techniques; in part 3, it is organized in terms of products, like PCB, PCBA, connection, component, etc. As such it give you the flexibility either go to Part 2 and learn about how and what types of failure analysis a particular equipment can perform, or go to Part 3 and find out the sequence of which equipments is to used first for a particular failure mode.
However, I need to highlight that the though there are tons of photos in the book, the quality of the photos need lots of improvement. Many a times, it takes me long time to figure out what's in the photos. Maybe some highlights or markings at the particular spot of interest in the comparison of the photos would help some novice readers to appreciate better
