Semiconductors make most of the technology that people depend upon possible. They combine the characteristics of both a conductor and an insulator, allowing them to be used in myriad different electronics applications. Semiconductors have a history thatdates back to the early 1800s, but it was not until the 1900s that they started to really be… Continue reading Which Semiconductor to Choose

Air Filters
Air filters come in various types. There are air filters that contain chemicals that enhance their functions and there are simple air filter that use only a fibrous material to filter air. Some air filters are used specifically for pulling allergens out of the air
Aluminium Capacitors
Aluminium capacitors are very common electrical components that have been in use for over a century. They are electrolytic capacitors, which means that they have an electrolyte introduced into them, generally a paste in the case of these components. An aluminium capacitor is a very simple device and the technology that makes it work dates… Continue reading Aluminium Capacitors
8051 Microcontroller
A microcontroller is one such basic computer. Oftentimes microcontrollers are used to run processes in electronics and machinery that do not change over time, and require no interfacing with users whatsoever. For instance, many of the processes in a car
12 Volt LED Lights
12 V LED lights describe any LED light consuming 12 V that can be used for a variety of different purposes. Because LED lighting is so much more efficient than incandescent lighting, LED lights can be provided with far less power and provide a relatively high amount of light output. 12 V LED lights tend… Continue reading 12 Volt LED Lights
